Fish Stew with Potatoes

Step 1

Cut the 1.5 lb fish into large chunks, removing the head and tail if desired. Peel and slice the 1.5 lb potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Slice the 1 onion and mince the 2 garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the potato slices and 2 bay leaves to the pot. Pour in the 3 cups broth, ensuring the potatoes are mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Gently place the fish chunks into the pot, nestling them among the potatoes. Cover and simmer until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaves. Ladle the stew into bowls and sprinkle with the 0.25 cup chopped parsley before serving.
