Ingredients

1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cut into chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, diced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
4 cups fish or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the diced carrot and bell pepper, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the diced tomatoes, broth, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes.
Carefully add the fish chunks to the pot, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley and lemon wedges.
