Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock) - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Celery - 1 stalk, diced

• Water - 250 milliliters
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
3. Stir in the diced tomato, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and water, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Add the fish fillets to the pot and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
