Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large fennel bulb thinly sliced or 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes plus more to taste
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
  • 1 ½ cup dry white wine
  • 5 cups fish stock or vegetable broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 ½ lbs. assorted firm-fleshed fish fillets such as halibut or salmon cut into 2-inch chunks

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a very large pot over medium heat. Add fennel or onion, shallots and salt and sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and pepper flakes and sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste. Add tomatoes with their juices, wine, fish stock or vegetable broth and bay leaf. Cover and bring to a simmer.
