This is a terrific dish that and is made up of salmon marinating in lime juice, paprika, and cumin, and then simmered with onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers, in coconut milk. You can marinade for 2 hours but it would be more preferable if you can marinade overnight.

INGREDIENTS      

Marinade:

The cloves from 1/2 head of garlic, peeled, crushed, minced
2 Tablespoons of fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon of coarse salt
1 Tablespoon of sweet paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons of dry cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper

Other:

1 1/2 to 2 pounds of salmon, cut into 2-inch pieces (largish-bite sized pieces)

2 medium onions, sliced
1 large bell pepper, seeded, de-stemmed, and sliced
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 14-ounce can thick coconut milk
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, 1-2 cups

Freshly cooked rice for serving

DIRECTIONS      

• Combine the marinating ingredients in a bowl then add in the salmon. Let it sit for 2 hours or refrigerate overnight.
• Use olive oil to coat the bottom of the large covered skillet or Dutch oven. Layer with sliced onions followed with a layer of sliced bell pepper and another one using sliced tomatoes. Put the fish pieces in the marinade then make the same layer on top of the fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper generously then top with half of the fresh cilantro. Pour coconut milk followed by a generous amount of olive oil over the top.
• Bring mixture to a boil then lower heat. Cover and allow simmering for half an hour.
