Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, chopped celery, and diced carrot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, fish stock, and white wine. Stir to combine.
Add diced potatoes, bay leaf, dried thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and let the stew simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Gently add the fish chunks to the pot, making sure they're submerged in the broth. Simmer for another 10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the fish stew hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
