Clean the fish fillets and season lightly with salt. Wash the leeks and slice into rings. Trim the bell pepper and slice into thin strips. Halve the onion and slice into half-moons. Heat the oil in a large, lidded pan and melt the butter. Stir in the onion, leek, and bell pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes. Season the vegetables with paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Mix in the capers and stock. Arrange the fish fillets on top of the vegetables, cover the pan, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the crème fraîche over the vegetables in small dollops. Bulgur wheat goes excellently with this dish.
