Paella with fish

In the 15th century, paella was considered a poor man's food in Spain. The dish was invented by the inhabitants of the Albufera lake area in Valencia. In that area, peasants grew rice, which was their main food. They added to the cereal whatever food they had left at home - meat, fish, vegetables, beans, spices. They cooked it in a frying pan. Today, paella is served in the best restaurants in the world. But this Spanish delicacy can also be prepared at home using simple ingredients.

Paella with fish - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, frozen fish works well—just thaw it completely, pat it dry, and follow the same seasoning and cooking steps to prevent excess moisture.
Replace the fish with hearty vegetables like artichokes, mushrooms, or extra bell peppers, and use vegetable broth instead of water for added flavor.
Substitute rice with cauliflower rice—add it toward the end of cooking to avoid mushiness, and adjust the liquid since cauliflower releases moisture.
Cool it completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to revive the texture.
Yes, but freeze without the fish for best results. Add freshly cooked fish when reheating to avoid overcooking and a rubbery texture.
Toast the rice lightly before adding liquid, and use a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of white wine for depth.
A simple green salad, crusty bread, or garlic aioli complements the dish well without overpowering the flavors.
Double the ingredients uniformly, but cook in batches or a wider pan to ensure even cooking and proper rice texture.
