Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for dairy-free
- 1 shallot sliced thin
- 1 garlic clove minced, optional
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 10 cherry tomatoes quartered
- 1 cup seafood stock or water
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce or 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
- pinch of monk fruit or 1 drop stevia glycerite, optional to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce optional but adds umami and you won’t taste it
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
- pinch of cayenne optional, enhances flavors
- salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces white fish filets 2 6-ounce filets such as sea bass, cod, sole, or tilapia
- chives for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When melted, add the shallots and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, another 5 minutes or so. Add in the bay leaf, tomatoes, stock, soy sauce, sweetener, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil. Add the saffron and cayenne and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 5 more minutes.
- Lay the fish into the broth in a single layer. Cover and cook at a bare simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the fish just flakes when tested with a fork (this will depend on thickness of the fish).
- Serve with the broth and tomatoes spooned over top. Sprinkle with chives, if desired.
