Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 large, diced
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Tomatoes
- 4 medium, chopped
- White wine
- 1 cup
- Fish stock
- 4 cups
- Saffron
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Clams
- 2 cups, cleaned
- Shrimp
- 1 pound, peeled and deveined
- White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes, white wine, fish stock, saffron, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the cleaned clams to the pot, covering it with a lid. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.
- Gently add the shrimp and white fish to the pot, stirring carefully to avoid breaking the fish. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the fish is flaky.
- Ladle the bouillabaisse into bowls and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the broth while it simmers.
- Feel free to customize the seafood based on what is fresh and available—mussels, scallops, or lobster can be great additions.
- Serve with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad to round out the meal.
