1Make the broth: simmer the fish heads and bones in the water with the bay leaf for 30 minutes; strain and keep.

2In the pot, soften the onion and carrots in olive oil, 5 minutes; add the tomato and cook 5 more.

3Pour in the hot strained broth; add the potatoes and simmer 12 minutes.

4Add the fish steaks and cook gently 8 minutes — they should just flake.

5Optionally add vermicelli for the last 3 minutes.

6Serve in deep bowls with a fistful of fresh coriander in each.
