Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
1 cup water
Green onions, for garnish
Instructions
Season the Salmon: Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil.
Sauté Aromatics: Add onion and garlic, sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Add Peppers: Stir in bell peppers and cook for another 3 minutes.
Build the Sauce: Add diced tomatoes, soy sauce, brown sugar, thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), and water. Stir well.
Simmer: Let the sauce simmer for 5–7 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Add Salmon: Gently nestle salmon fillets into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over each fillet.
Cover and Cook: Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Taste and Adjust: Adjust salt, pepper, or brown sugar to balance the flavors.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the seasoning for 15 minutes before cooking.
Pairs well with rice, plantains, or steamed vegetables.
Add a splash of lime juice for brightness just before serving.
