Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the bay leaves and paprika and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the coriander; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
Add 1 cup water and reduce the heat to medium low. Season the fish with salt and pepper, then nestle the pieces among the vegetables in the pan. Cover and simmer until the fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Divide the stew among bowls. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons coriander. Serve with the bread.

Recipe Tips

•

When sautéing the onions and bell peppers, cook them until they are soft and translucent before adding the garlic. This will enhance the overall flavor of the stew and prevent the garlic from burning.

•

Consider adding a splash of white wine (about 1/2 cup) after the vegetables are sautéed and before adding the diced tomatoes. This will add depth and acidity to the stew, balancing the flavors perfectly.

•

Avoid overcooking the fish by adding it to the stew only in the last 5-7 minutes of cooking. This will ensure it remains tender and flaky rather than becoming tough and rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for striped bass in this stew?

You can use other firm white fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia as a substitute for striped bass. These fish will hold up well in the stew and provide a similar texture.

How should I store leftovers of this fish stew?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking.

What can I do if the stew is too watery?

If your stew turns out too watery, you can let it simmer uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate. Alternatively, you can add a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water to thicken the stew.
