Ingredients
1.5 lbs firm white fish (cod, halibut, or snapper), cut into 2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cups seafood or vegetable stock
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chiffonade
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onions and cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, stock, oregano, and smoked paprika.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
Gently nestle the fish chunks into the simmering stew.
Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh parsley and basil.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
Notes
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid breaking up the fish. A squeeze of fresh lemon before serving can brighten the flavors.
