Fennel Adds Distinctive Flavor to Fish
Fennel is well known in French and Italian cuisines, and is becoming more widely appreciated in the United States as our culinary palates become more sophisticated. Available in the fall and winter months, fennel has a rounded pale green bulb, long stalks (which are often trimmed away) and feathery green leaves. The texture is similar to celery but the flavor is a world apart. The mild sweet flavor resembles licorice or anise and in fact fennel is often labeled anise at many markets. Fennel goes well with fish in particular, which is the inspiration for todays recipe.
Braised Halibut with Fennel 2 fresh fennel bulbs, about 1/3 pound each Vegetable cooking spray or olive oil for coating the skillet 4 garlic cloves , minced 2 medium shallots, chopped 2/3 cup fish stock or water 1/3 cup dry white wine 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon fennel or anise seeds 2 1-inch thick halibut steaks, about 10-12 ounces each
Rinse the fennel under cold water. Remove and chop the leaves. Cut the fennel into quarters. Remove the core and slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
Coat a large non-stick skillet with vegetable cooking spray . Heat over medium-high heat for a 2 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic and fennel. Cook for about 5 minutes. stirring occasionally. Add the fish stock, wine, lemon juice, and fennel seeds. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Move the fennel mixture to the sides of the skillet and place the halibut in the center. Cover and simmer over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes or until the halibut is cooked through. Cut the halibut steaks in half and place on individual dinner plates. Spoon some of the fennel mixture on the halibut and garnish with fennel leaves. Makes 4 servings.
