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.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1/4 cup sliced almonds
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/8 teaspoon saffron threads
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds skinless sablefish, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup dried currants
3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 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.

    Step 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 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes.

    Step 3

    Season fish on both sides with 1/2 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.

    Step 4

    To serve, divide among four bowls. Sprinkle with almonds and sliced scallions.
