One Pot Meal
The beauty of one pot and one pan meals is that it makes meal preparation simpler with less clean up afterward! The key is to create a base of delicious flavor and then mix in other ingredients to simmer together to perfection.
To make this delicious fish stew, start with a base of onion, bell peppers, and garlic in olive oil. Then, add in the fire-roasted tomatoes, beans and salsa for a kick! Let your fish fillets simmer in that mix of ingredients until ready and serve over a bed of rice to absorb everything for more flavor in every bite.
For best results, use fresh fish, but frozen fish can also be swapped in.
