Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, finely diced, 2 carrots peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces, and 2 celery stalks, diced, and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 garlic cloves, minced, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes until alcohol evaporates.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 cups fish stock, 1 cup diced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup lemon juice, then bring to a gentle simmer. Add 1 lb cod fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes, and 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, and cook for 5-7 minutes until fish is opaque and shrimp are pink, stirring gently.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat, stir in 2 tbsp unsalted butter until melted, then add 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, and 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
