Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all ingredients are incorporated and flavors blended, about 12-15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep warm over low heat. Place the fish in a baking dish and dot with butter. Pour the broth and lemon juice over top and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 16-18 minutes. Spoon two-thirds of the sauce onto a decorative serving platter, place fish on top and spoon remaining sauce over the fi sh. Garnish with the basil and serve immediately with hot Italian bread.
