This hearty fish stew comes together in one pot and can be made from start to finish in less than 40 minutes. It's perfect to serve on a chilly winter night to friends and family. The flavors of saffron and fennel give this healthy dish a Middle Eastern twist that you'll find well worth it. The stew also features garlic, canned crushed tomatoes, dry white wine, Russet potatoes, haddock, and lots of fresh parsley for a finishing note of color and texture. Most of the cook time is hands-off, making this recipe quite convenient to make on a busy weeknight. Crusty bread rubbed with garlic is its perfect accompaniment.
