Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix seafood seasoning and ground yellow pepper together in a small bowl. Place tomato paste in another bowl and mix in 1/2 of the seasoning mixture; set aside.
- Clean fish and pat dry. Season both sides with the remaining seasoning mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a Dutch oven. Add onion, carrots, bell peppers, sweet potato, and garlic. Stir well and cook until vegetables begin to soften 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved tomato paste mixture until well combined.
- Add diced tomatoes and juice; stir well. Stir in seafood stock. Lower heat, cover with a lid, and simmer until sweet potatoes are soft, but not mushy, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add fish to the pot. Put the lid back on and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
