Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 4 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, then stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Mix in the chopped fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, dry white wine, paprika, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the fish fillets for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

Add the shrimp to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

Step 8

Gently nestle the seared fish fillets into the sauce and spoon some of the sauce over them. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes to fully cook the fish.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of rice, crusty bread, or a fresh salad on the side.
