Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Finely dice the onion and red bell pepper, peel and dice the carrot, and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the onion, red bell pepper, and carrot to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste and canned diced tomatoes, stirring to combine with the spices and vegetables.
Pour in the fish stock (or chicken stock) and stir. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
While the stew simmers, slice the zucchini into thin rounds and cut the white fish into bite-sized pieces.
Add the zucchini slices and fish chunks to the pot. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.
Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if preferred, and enjoy!
