Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and diced red bell pepper; cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Sprinkle in smoked paprika and stir for 1 minute to release its aroma.

Add chopped tomatoes and bay leaves; simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Pour in white wine and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Add the soaked cod to the skillet, ensuring it's submerged in the sauce.

Cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes until the fish is tender and flakes easily.

Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
