Ingredients	Instructions
4 white fish filets (fresh or frozen and thawed)	Step 1 Wash and dry all vegetables. Peel and dice onion. Peel and dice carrot. Dice zucchini (a little bigger pieces than onion and carrot). Remove seeds and dice bell pepper same size as carrots. Slice mushrooms. Slice jalapenos (removing seeds is optional, but I did). Mince garlic cloves.
1 yellow onion	Step 2 Cut fish into bite-sized pieces.
1 large carrot	Step 3 Add oil in a pan with tall sides. Warm oil on medium heat then add fish. Top fish with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 5 minutes or until fish turns white but hasn't started fallen apart.
1 zucchini	Step 4   Remove fish from pan and place on a plate.
1 green bell pepper	Step 5    In the same pan, add carrots. Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
4 white mushrooms	Step 6    Add jalapenos and bell peppers to the pan. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes.
1 jalapeno	Step 7    Add onions, stir, and cook for 2 minutes.
2 tablespoons olive oil	Step 8    Add zucchini, stir, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir often to make sure zucchini is cooking.
1 teaspoon salt	Step 9    Add mushrooms, stir, and cook for 2 more minutes then remove all vegetables from the pan and place on a separate plate.
1 teaspoon black pepper	Step 10    In the same pan, add vegetable stock and slowly mix in flour. If the mixture gets clumpy, you can use an immersion blender to make it smooth. Bring mixture to a boil.
1 teaspoon smoked paprika	Step 11    Add fish and vegetables into the slurry. Add garlic and mix together. On medium-low heat, cover with a lid and allow to cook for 5 more minutes. Serve over rice and enjoy!
