1. In a small bowl, soak the saffron in the water. Put the onion, butter, garlic, green pepper, tomato, salt, and potatoes in a covered casserole.
2. Cook in the microwave oven about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, stirring several times.
3. Add the water and saffron mixture and blend well into the hot vegetables.
4. Add the fish and cook, covered, in the microwave oven for about 5 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
5. Serve from the casserole.
TIP:
Fish cooks rapidly and retains its moisture in the microwave oven. If you prefer a soupier stew, add a little extra liquid at the end and cook just enough to heat the liquid.
