- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
for the soup

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine garlic, lime juice, coarse salt, sweet paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Coat the salmon with this paste and let it marinate for at least 2 hours. The longer it marinates, the more the flavors will develop.
- Coat the bottom of a large covered skillet or Dutch oven with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Layer sliced onions, followed by bell peppers, and then sliced tomatoes.Place the marinated salmon pieces on top of the vegetable layers. Add another layer of onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
- Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Add about half of your fresh cilantro on top. Pour coconut milk over the layers, then drizzle generously with olive oil (several tablespoons).Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes to an hour, or until the vegetables are cooked through and the salmon is perfectly tender.Serve hot in individual bowls, garnished with the remaining fresh cilantro.
