I always try to create recipes to cook salmon and found out this recipe by using some ingredients in my pantry and found out that it actually tasted great as my finicky hubby loves this stew....he even asked for more of it....lol...I used some dried anchovies which my mum had bought for me when she came to visit me in July.....it was a rich sweet stock and then I also added some fennel and carrots to it ....fennel has a anise flavour and goes very well with salmon....enjoy making this stew and you would love it on a wintery night like tonight....
Bon appetit!!
