A delightful seafood stew combining fresh ingredients for a flavorful and comforting dish.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, rosemary, and red pepper flakes to the pot and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and white wine, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate all flavors.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Add the halibut fillets, shrimp, and bay scallops to the pot and cook until the seafood is opaque.
Avoid overcooking the seafood to maintain its tender texture.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle into bowls.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
