1/4 green bell pepper, diced or sliced
09 -

→ Sauce
13 -
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
14 -
1/4 cup of chicken or veggie stock
15 -
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
16 -
Two teaspoons of brown sugar
17 -
A cup of neutral oil for frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse the fish well using cold water and lime or lemon. Pat it dry with paper towels and sprinkle salt, black pepper, and seasoning salt all over.
02 -
Heat some oil in a wide skillet on medium-high. Fry the salmon on each side for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a drying rack afterward.
03 -
Pour out most of the used oil, keeping just 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add in thyme, garlic, onion, tomatoes, scotch bonnet, and peppers, then cook until aromatic. Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and stock.
04 -
Gently place the salmon fillets back into the sauce in your pan. Spoon more sauce on top and simmer for a couple of minutes. Add a bit more of the sauce on top before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
If you're low on hoisin sauce, try browning and more sugar instead.
02 -
Don't try flipping the fish too early. Wait for it to naturally release from the pan.
03 -
For less spice, leave the scotch bonnet whole. Cut it up for more heat.
