Sauté until the veggies have softened slightly; then add sprig(s) of fresh thyme and scotch bonnet pepper or hot pepper sauce.
• Stir in coconut milk until combined. Then add paprika, salt and black pepper, stirring occasionally for approx. 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until dissolved and stir it into the sauce if needed to thicken. Continue to let simmer while stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken. Return salmon to the saucepan and cover with sauce until completely coated.
