    Quick, easy, and delicious. I add some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

    Pg. 133. A Marian Burros recipe published in the NYT in 1991, so an oldie, but a goodie. The sauce is redolent of the orange zest and fennel seeds (I used a full tsp of fennel) and conjures up the Mediterranean. The recipe is very simple and takes no time to prep and cook. I used Barramundi for the fish. My only issue with the dish is that I found the sauce to be a little too thick -- I might cut back on the tomato paste next time.

    A lovely dish- the orange zest really makes it sing. Bump up the fennel seeds to a teaspoon if you are a fan of that flavor- the 1/2 teaspoon worked for my husband, who is only iffy with fennel, but I love it and could have used more.

    Pg. 133 Sautee onion and garlic until onion has softened. Add white wine, crushed canned tomatoes, tomato paste, orange zest, fennel seeds, dried thyme, bay leaf and S & P. Cover pot. Cook 10 mins. Slice white fish fillets or steaks (haddock is good) into 2" pieces, add. Cook for a few minutes just until fish is done.
