Ingredients

For the fish:
1 whole white fish or filet with skin (either branzino, snapper or sea bass)
Salt and pepper
1teaspoon chopped tarragon
1teaspoon olive oil

For the soup:
6-8 little neck clams
2 sticks celery, cut in pieces
1 medium sized potato, cut in
pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed
5-8 grape tomatoes

expel the excess water in the fish.

– Wash clams with a brush thoroughly and soak in salt water, in a stainless steel bowl,
overnight. If clams are not soaked overnight, the clams can be blanched in 2 cups of
water. Once the shells have opened, remove from the bottom of skillet and wash each
clam individually in the same water used for blanching. Then strain the water into a
separate container. This water is later used for the clam soup.

Instructions:
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet and add garlic, celery and olives and sauté for 5–6 minutes at medium heat.
2. Add clam soup (strained water from earlier), chicken broth and a potato and simmer until the potato is tender.
3. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil and add fish . Grill? at medium heat until fish is browned. This will take between 5-8 minutes depending on the size of the fish.
4. Add the entire soup content, and clams tomatoes and paprika in to frying pan. Cover and simmer at medium low heat for 5-7 minutes.
5. Add some salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
