Ingredients

  • 1 pound Fresh white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 medium Carrot, diced
  • 1 stalk Celery, diced
  • 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium Potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) Diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 3 cups Fish or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 leaf Bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preparing your ingredients. Dice the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, red bell pepper, and potato into small, uniform pieces.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Add the diced carrot, celery, and red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté the mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
  • Next, incorporate the diced potatoes and canned tomatoes into the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  • Pour in the fish or vegetable broth, ensuring that all the vegetables are submerged. Add the dried thyme, oregano, and bay leaf, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Once the vegetables are cooked, carefully add the fish pieces to the pot. Stir gently to avoid breaking the fish apart.
  • Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
