Add the garlic, tomatoes, sliced potatoes, and saffron to the saucepan. Pour in the fish stock and bring to a boil.

Step 3.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
-
Step 4.
Stir in the monkfish, sea bream, tightly closed mussels, and ground toasted almonds. Cook for another 10 minutes, until the mussels have opened (discard any that remain closed) and the fish is cooked through.
