Best Cod With Fennel Dill And Tomato Recipes

COD WITH TOMATO-FENNEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel and a pinch each of salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic, oregano, olives and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and cook until almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Generously season the cod with salt and pepper and nestle in the sauce. Cover and cook until the fish is mostly cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the fish finish cooking in the sauce, about 3 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the ciabatta with olive oil and broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Rub with the smashed garlic.
• Divide the sauce and fish among shallow bowls; drizzle with olive oil. Top with fennel fronds and serve with the ciabatta.

STRIPED BASS OR MAHI MAHI WITH FENNEL, LEEKS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Lay the fish fillets in a baking dish or on a sheet pan and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and refrigerate while you make the sauce.
• In a large lidded sauté pan that will accommodate all of the fish in one layer (see note below), heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the leeks. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the garlic and a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute, and add the fennel. Turn down the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and cook, stirring often, until the fennel is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover the pan, add the tomatoes, salt to taste, and the pepper and cook uncovered, stirring often, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is thick and fragrant. Stir in the dill and 1 tablespoon of the parsley.
• Lay the fish over the fennel mixture. (Note: If the pan isn't big enough, divide the mixture between two pans.) Cover and place over medium heat. Simmer 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley and serve the sauce and fish together, with rice or potatoes.
