Ingredients
 
 

  • 12 raw fresh mussels
  • 12 raw fresh clams

  • 8 ounces cod fillet
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • teaspoon thyme fresh or dry
  • ¼ cup white wine

  • ½ teaspoon saffron threads
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Thoroughly rinse the clams and mussels in cold running water to remove all the grit and sand from the shellfish.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan and when it heats up add the diced onion, garlic, and sliced fennel. Sauté for about 3 minutes.
  • Add smoked paprika, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes to the pan. Add white wine to deglaze the pan.
  • Add tomatoes, chicken broth, saffron and season with sea salt and black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to simmer.
  • Add the cod, shrimp, clams and mussels to the pan. Cover the pan and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes or until the clams and mussels have opened.
  • Garnish the seafood stew with chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread.
