Fish with Saffron and Garlic
3-4 lbs white fish fillets
½ tsp crushed saffron threads
1 T boiling water
2 T butter
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
¼ tsp ground fennel (optional, I usually leave this out)
1 tomato, diced (we use 2T of marinara sauce)
Salt to taste
Lemon wedge for serving
Rinse the fish and set aside. Crumble the saffron threads into a small heat proof bowl, add the boiling water and set aside.
Prepare the remaining ingredients. Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute or two, until the garlic is golden. Stir the lemon juice, tomatoes and saffron solution. Add the fish and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 5-10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
Serves well with cooked spinach and brown rice or quinoa. Delicious!
