Sablefish in Tomato-Saffron Stew

 


This aromatic stew can be made with other types of fish, including haddock or regular cod, but sablefish delivers higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. A whole-wheat baguette is good for sopping up the broth.

 

Ingredients :

 

  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • ⅛ teaspoon saffron threads
  • 1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1½ pounds skinless sablefish, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup dried currants
  • 3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

 

Method :

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread almonds in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven just until turning golden and fragrant, tossing occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  2. Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium. Cook garlic, stirring, 1 minute. Add red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, and saffron. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, and crush with a wooden spoon; season with ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes.
  3. Season fish on both sides with ½ teaspoon salt, dividing evenly, and pepper. Add to pot along with the currants. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Gently stir to combine; cover, and continue to cook until fish is opaque throughout, about 5 minutes more.
  4. To serve, divide among four bowls. Sprinkle with almonds and sliced scallions.
