White Fish Tapas

🇪🇸 Spanish

High heat, big flavour: white fish seared with aromatics and a shiny sauce that clings to every bite. About 14 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 10 min Cook 4 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic4 cloves, minced
  • Bell Pepper1, sliced
  • Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Spring Onions3, cut into batons
  • White Fish500 g
  • Smoked Paprika1 tsp
  • Breadto serve

Optional extras

  • Fresh Parsleyhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a heavy pan and start the sofrito: Garlic cooked down gently until sweet and jammy.

  2. 2

    Add the White Fish and brown it properly — in batches if the pan is crowded.

  3. 3

    Stir in Smoked Paprika, garlic and paprika, frying briefly until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the liquid, scrape the pan base (never let it burn — fond is flavour, char is ruin), and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Cook uncovered until the White Fish is tender and the sauce is deep amber and spoon-coating.

  6. 6

    Rest, then serve with lemon and a scatter of parsley, pan juices pooled generously.

Chef's tip

Prep everything before the heat goes on — spanish cooking moves fast once it starts.
