This brightly flavoured stew takes inspiration from Scandinavian seafood dishes that pair chunks of sweet fish with saffron and potatoes. Saffron adds a brilliant golden color to the broth and a deep, earthy flavor. It’s a bit expensive, however, so feel free to substitute a few pinches of turmeric instead.
