Cut the salmon into pieces about 1 and 1/2 inches.

In a clean bowl, combine the salmon with salt and pepper, mixing well.

Add minced garlic and shallots to the salmon and let it marinate for about 15 to 20 minutes.

In a saucepan, turn on the heat and add olive oil.

Add fresh diced tomatoes (or canned diced tomatoes) to the saucepan and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the puréed tomatoes and one more tablespoon of sugar to the saucepan, mixing well.

Let the tomato sauce cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the marinated salmon in a cooking pan, adding a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Cook the salmon in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until it reaches medium rare.

After 20 minutes, remove the salmon from the oven and set it aside.

In the same cooking pan, turn on high heat and add the leftover marinade from the salmon.

Cook the marinade until it turns golden brown, then add sugar and fish sauce.

Add coconut soda to the pan and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add the salmon back into the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for about 20 minutes.

While the fish is cooking, boil water separately.

After 20 minutes, add the tomato sauce and diced peppers to the fish and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Pour in about 1 cup of boiling water, cover the lid, and cook for another 20 to 30 minutes.

If desired, add some Thai chili pepper for spice after 25 minutes and then turn off the heat.
