This classical Spanish soup is flavored with olive oil, tomato and saffron and enhanced with the tang of fresh orange.

  • Add the fish steaks and saute briefly on both sides
  • Add the saffron water, tomatoes, clam juice, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer gently over low heat, covered for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
