Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse each salmon fillet under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Squeeze some lime or lemon juice over the salmon, and season with salt, black pepper, and seasoning salt. Let salmon sit while preparing the sauce.
  2. Heat two tablespoons of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the seasoned salmon fillets for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain on a wire rack.
  3. Pour off excess oil from the skillet, leaving about two tablespoons. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Add fresh thyme and scotch bonnet (if using) to the softened vegetables. Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and chicken broth. Allow sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Partially cover the skillet and simmer on medium-high for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the Brown Stew Salmon on a platter or individual plates, drizzled with remaining sauce. Enjoy with rice or dumplings.
