Hoping to get quick help for cooking time on this Fish Stew

[smilingal]

I have been searching, before posting this, but my time is running out. I thought I got this recipe from a link on here - it is Frances Ren Huang's Fish Stew from Food52. It calls to make it in a cock pot, simmering salmon, tomatoes, yellow pepper rings, sweet potato, white onion rings in coconut milk for 1 hour. Not having a crock pot, someone obviously had commented that it can be baked in a 300 degree oven - as those were my added notes, but not the length of cooking time. What are your thoughts?

the potato and the onion will take much longer to cook than the salmon.

any liquid besides the coconut milk? i'd cook everything except the fish, on the stovetop, about 1/2 hour, check for doneness. if nearly soft, add the salmon and cook on low for just a few more minutes. the fish can finish cooking in the warm liquid, off-heat, so you don't over-cook it.

ok thanks - I was thinking about the potato also needing that extra time - so you think on stove top in a casserole - I am thinking covered with foil then a lid on top? How much longer after the 1/2 hour would you guestimate? and then how much longer once the fish goes in - BTW - it is less than a pound of chunked salmon. OHHHHH - I forgot to mention 2 sliced tomatoes also go in - so more liquids!

i'd saute the onions and pepper rings a couple minutes. add the tomatoes and sweet potato and liquid. bring to a simmer. no need for foil, just put a lid on it. can casserole dishes be used on the stovetop? i just use a dutch oven or deep skillet.

the salmon will cook in just a couple minutes.

wish I would have thought of the dutch oven or deep skillet - I used a corning ware - and it is up to the top - without the salmon - but it will all cook down I am imagining - otherwise I will have to do a midway transfer! Thanks for your help - I thought this recipe sounded intriguing - we shall see.
