    Ingredients

    • 3 tbsp. olive oil
    • 1 large bulb fennel (1 lb.)— quartered, cored and thinly sliced, plus 1 cup fennel fronds
    • 2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
    • 3 zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
    • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
    • 2 tbsp. dry white wine
    • 6 cod fillets (7 oz. each) or other flaky white fish
    • 1 lemon, half zested and half quartered

    Preparation

    1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tbsp. oil over medium. Add the sliced fennel and onions, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook 1 minute. Reserve 2 cups vegetables for the French-Style Fish Chowder. Transfer the rest of the vegetables to plates. 

    2. Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 1 tbsp. oil over medium-high. Season the fillets and cook, turning once, until just flaky, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Reserve 2 fillets for the French-Style Fish Chowder. Serve the rest of the fillets on the vegetables; top with the fennel fronds and zest. Serve with the lemon wedges.
