Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and pepper
1/2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes peeled, and cut into medium dice
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
2 cups corn kernels (from 2 ears)
1 small zucchini, halved and cut 1/4-inch thick
12 small little neck clams, scrubbed
Four 4-ounce skinless striped bass fillets (1-inch thick)
Basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

Melt butter in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and broth, and bring to a boil. Cover, and cook for 5 minutes, add clams and cook, covered, 5 minutes. Stir in corn and zucchini. Push clams aside, and nestle fish into pan in a single layer, leaving space between pieces. Cover, and cook until clams are open and fish is opaque, 4 to 6 minutes more.
