Preparing the ingredients:

Clean and slice the salmon, then wash the peas and leave them in the colander. Clean and grate the carrot and a small piece of ginger. Chop the onion and the red bell pepper. Then crush 2 cloves of garlic and squeeze out the lemon juice.

Browning steps:

Grease a pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the grated carrots and cook until they begin to soften (3 minutes). Incorporate the chopped onions, stirring until translucent (3 minutes).

Add the peas and cook until slightly softened (5 minutes). Next, introduce the chopped red bell pepper, grated ginger, and crushed garlic, stirring and cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Cooking the salmon pea goulash:

Sprinkle in all the spices, stirring briefly, then pour in the water and add the salmon slices. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the peas and salmon to simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 dl of tomato juice, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 dl of water.

Last steps:

After the 10 minutes have elapsed, pour the liquid mixture from the bowl into the pan, stirring well, and continue to simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Serving the Salmon Pea Goulash:

Serve it when it’s ready. Garnish it with chopped fresh dill or any other herbs of your preference. Consider adding a bit of freshly squeezed lemon juice or sour cream in your dish when serving, in case you like a sourly taste. Avoid using vinegar, especially if you want to feed young children.
