Instructions
Heat a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or pot with olive oil to medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and just about to begin smoking. Add the diced onion and saute for 3-4 minutes until becoming opaque. Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, saffron, salt, and freshly ground black pepper then continue to saute for an additional minute.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine for 1-2 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes and mix well. Add your mussels into the saucepan and cover to steam for 1 minute.
Pour in the clam juice, lemon juice, and stir in the fresh parsley. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mussels are opened (about 5 minutes). Discard any unopened mussels. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges or slices and more chopped parsley if desired.
