Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

20 30 50

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 stuffing croutons
1 cup chicken broth
2 eggs, 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 small 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, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and a thermometer inserted into stuffing reads 160°. Serve with fennel sauce. Yield: 4 servings.
