- 1 small, finely chopped (optional) jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, no sugar added)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)

- 1.5 pounds, boneless and skinless white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 medium, diced zucchini

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, allowing the spices to bloom for 1 minute.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and fish stock. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Cut the fish fillets into large chunks (about 2-inch pieces) and gently add them to the pot, along with the diced zucchini.
Simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with more salt or spices if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lime juice for a bright finish. Offer lime wedges on the side.
