A Healthy, Protein-Rich Fish Dish with Bold Flavours

This Spicy fish in Garlic Paprika Sauce is inspired by Mediterranean flavours and North African spices. The bold mix of smoked paprika, garlic, and caraway gives the dish its rich taste, while the fish remains tender and flaky.

Not only is this dish packed with flavour, but it also offers health benefits. Fish or cod is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart health, while the spices provide anti-inflammatory properties.

Simple yet packed with bold tastes, this dish is perfect for an easy, healthy weeknight meal. Serve it over couscous or rice.

Ingredients

4 fresh cod fillets
1 tbsp all purpose (plain) flour
⅓ cup - 100ml extra virgin olive oil
½ red onion, very finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, crushed
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp paprika
½ tsp salt
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp ground caraway
1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup - 280g tomato purée
⅔ cup - 150ml white wine (or water)
½ cup fresh coriander leaves chopped and some for garnish

Steps

Step 1
Season fish with salt on each side, then coat fish in flour.
Step 2
In a deep frying pan on high high heat, add olive oil. Cook the fish just enough to brown it a little on each side. Remove the fish, and set aside.
Step 3
To the same pan, add the onion and cook, covered, for about 5 minutes until softened but not browned. Mix in the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the caraway, cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, mix in oil and cook until fragrant (20 seconds) Pour in the white wine, reduce my half, add the lemon juice and the tomato purée, stir, and let it simmer for another 1 minute.
Step 5
Return the fish to the pan, and cook on low heat, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a splash of wine if needed to keep the sauce from drying out.
Step 6
When the sauce thickens, add the cod fillets, spoon the sauce over the top, and cook for 5-10 minutes, covered, until the fish is cooked through.
Step 7
Place on warm serving plates, drizzle some olive oil, garnish with a sprinkle of caraway, and fresh coriander leaves.
Serve with couscous or crusty bread.
