Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium low heat.
Step 2
Add onion and garlic and cook until soft but not browned, about 7 minutes.
Step 3
Add paprika and red pepper and stir for a few seconds.
Step 4
Add peppers and tomatoes, increase heat to medium, and cook until the tomatoes begin to release their juice, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in chard and parsley and cook, stirring, just until wilted, 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Add bay leaf, wine, and currants.
Step 7
Heat to simmering.
Step 8
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until vegetables are softened and flavors blended, 5-7 minutes.
Step 9
At this point the mixture may be covered and refrigerated up to 1 day, or you can finish the dish right away.
Step 10
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Step 11
Season fish with salt and pepper.
Step 12
Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 13
Dust fish lightly with flour and saute for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove and set aside.

Place potatoes in a single layer, overlapping slightly, in a baking dish large enough to hold the fish snugly in a single layer.
Step 15
Sprinkle lightly with salt and arrange fish on top.
Step 16
Remove bay leaf from vegetable mixture and discard.
Step 17
Season mixture with salt and pepper and spoon vegetable mixture and juices evenly over fish.
