Heat water to boiling. Cook shrimp for several
minutes, remove them from the water and let them cool before peeling.
Bring the shrimp water back to a simmer and add the steelhead, cut into
bite size pieces. Cook for a few minutes until just done. Carefully remove
the steelhead from water, and refrigerate. Strain and measure your shrimp
and steelhead broth adding enough water to bring the broth back to six
cups. Measure spices and set aside.
In heavy frying pan, melt the butter, add flour and continually stir until
you have a peanut butter colored roux. Add the onion, celery, and pepper
to the roux and stir fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Add the spices and garlic
to the vegetables and stir fry for 2 more minutes.
Slowly add the vegetable roux, a little at a time, to the simmering broth
while continually stirring. Add the tomatoes and simmer the gumbo for
approximately 30 minutes.
Add shrimp and salmon and warm the gumbo for a couple of minutes. Serve
over a small amount of cooked rice in bowls.
