  • Peel the onion and garlic, rinse, and dry. Finely chop the onion; crush the garlic with the flat of a knife and chop it too. Pour a little vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pot and heat it. Add the onion and garlic along with a little saffron, and cook until translucent. Wash and finely chop the tomatoes, add them to the pot, and pour in the tomato juice (canned diced tomatoes in their juice work well too). Add the fish broth (or vegetable broth) along with the anise, bay leaves, and chile (powder or flakes are fine), plus sea salt and black pepper to taste. Stir, cover, and simmer over moderate heat for about 20–25 minutes. While the broth simmers, prep the seafood. Rinse the fish fillet, pat it dry, and cut it into cubes — sea fish like salmon or cod is best. Rinse and peel the shrimp. Scrub the mussels well to remove sand and grit; it's best to cook the mussels separately and discard any that don't open, as those are considered inedible. When the broth is ready, add the cubed fish and the shrimp and continue cooking for about 5–7 minutes, until the seafood is done. Rinse and dry the dill; chop half of it finely and stir it into the soup. Take the pot off the heat and let the soup rest, covered, for about 10 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls, add a few cooked mussels to each, and garnish with sprigs of fresh dill. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
