Seafood Stew

WHY IT’S LIGHT A brothy base, lean, mild white fish, and only one tablespoon olive oil keep this dish healthier than heavier seafood stews and chowders. Drizzle just a little extra olive oil over each serving to make the most of the oil’s fruity flavor.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving (optional)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, halved, and thinly sliced, fronds reserved for garnish
1 large tomato, cut into large dice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 cups low-sodium store-bought chicken broth
12 ounces skinless striped bass or red snapper fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound sea scallops, large muscle removed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot, combine oil and garlic; cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add fennel and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomato, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until tomato begins to break down, about 3 minutes.

    Step 2

    Stir in broth and bring stew to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Gently fold in seafood. Return to a bare simmer and cook until seafood is opaque throughout, about 3 minutes. To serve, divide stew among bowls and drizzle each with additional oil; garnish with fennel fronds.
