The anise flavor of fennel is a perfect complement to tarragon and spinach.
1 pound sole filets or other lean fish
1 cup chopped fennel (about 1/2 bulb)
1/4 cup chopped onions (about 1 small)
2 tablespoons water
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup uncooked regular long-grain rice
1 cup shredded spinach (about 1 1/2 ounces)
Paprika
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
Lemon wedges
Cut fish fillets into 4 serving pieces. Cook fennel and onion in water in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Stir in broth, rice and spinach. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Place fish on rice mixture. Cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork and liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle fish with paprika and tarragon. Serve with lemon wedges.
