👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Slice the potatoes into thick rounds, about 0.5 cm. Slice the onions and bell pepper into thin rings. Chop the tomatoes and mince the garlic.
2. In a large, wide pot or Dutch oven, drizzle a third of the olive oil. Layer a third of the onions, potatoes, bell pepper, and tomatoes, then sprinkle with garlic and parsley.
3. Place half of the fish fillets over the vegetables. Season generously with salt and pepper, and add one bay leaf.
4. Repeat the layers: another third of vegetables, then the remaining fish, seasoning, and the second bay leaf.
5. Finish with the last layer of vegetables. Pour over the white wine and fish stock, then drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
6. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes until potatoes are tender and fish is cooked through.
7. Carefully transfer to serving bowls, ensuring each portion gets a mix of fish and vegetables. Garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving.
