When travelling to Spain, it can be a little shocking in some resorts, when you see the British pubs, bars and restaurants. Be sure to hunt down the traditional Spanish restaurants, & enjoy the local flavors and produce.
This recipe showcases a beautiful combination of Spanish flavor, is easy to make, & can be cooked in the airfryer! Choose fish within your budget. Monkfish is perfect but expensive. Cod or Basa will work well!
