Traditional Iranian Sautéed Fish Stew

Assemble the ingredients: fish, salt, carrot, coriander, paprika, tomato, black pepper.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until sautéed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Iranian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Iranian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
