Ingredients

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) plain yogurt
  • 2-1/4 cups finely chopped fennel fronds, divided
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced chives
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt, optional
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 cod or flounder fillets (1-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 medium lemon, sliced

Directions

  • For sauce, combine the yogurt, 1/4 cup of fennel, lemon juice, chives, salt if desired and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  • In a large skillet, saute celery and onion in oil until tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in the croutons, broth, eggs and remaining fennel.
  • Spoon about 1 cup stuffing mixture onto each fillet; roll fish around stuffing. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Top each with a lemon slice.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and a thermometer inserted in the dressing reads 165°. Serve with fennel sauce. Yield: 4 servings.

  • How to Cook Tilapia

    Tilapia is a delicious, mild-tasting fish that is farm-raised in fresh water. It's an inexpensive alternative to other white fish such as cod. Tilapia's flavor is so mild that it easily takes on the flavors of sauces or your favorite seasonings.
