Chef's Tip
Don’t toss that fish poaching liquid in Step 1! We use it to add extra depth to the stew. The liquid is similar to a fumet, or lightly flavored fish broth. A French word meaning “a pleasant scent,” fumet is usually made by simmering mild white fish heads and bones in water with vegetables; it appears in a variety of dishes from bisques to stews. We recommend reducing white wine for a rounded acidity, but this dish will be just as good without.
Make It Leaner
Using only half the sweet potato and cooking it in just 1 tablespoon oil will reduce each serving by 90 calories and 7 grams of fat. Plus, you can enjoy the remaining potato with your eggs in the morning.

1

Poach the fish

Instructions are identical for both fish options.
  • Using a peeler, remove the zest in wide strips from the lemon, being careful to remove only the outermost yellow layer and leave behind the bitter white pith. Juice half the lemon; set aside for finishing the dish. Cut the remaining half into wedges for garnish. [Remove the zest from 1 lemon then juice it; cut the remaining lemon into wedges.]
  • Peel and thinly slice the onion. Set aside three-fourths of the onion for the stew.
In a medium sauce pot, cover the fish with 1 inch water, at least 1½ cups [2½ cups]. Add the lemon zest and one-fourth of the onion. Bring to a boil, reduce to a vigorous simmer, cover, and cook until the fish is starting to turn opaque but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the fish to a plate. Strain the poaching liquid into a medium heatproof bowl.
While the water heats and the fish cooks, prepare the vegetables.

2

Prep the vegetables; start the stew

  • Scrub or peel the sweet potato. Trim the ends and cut the potato in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick slices, the slices crosswise into ¼-inch cubes.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sweet potato, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add ¼ cup [½ cup] white wine (from your pantry), if using, and cook until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 1½ cups [2½ cups] fish poaching liquid. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the flavors come together and the vegetables are just tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
While the stew simmers, prepare the parsley.

3

Prep the parsley; finish the stew

  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Set aside half for garnish.
To the pan with the stew, add the fish, raisins, and half the parsley and cook over medium heat until the fish is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fish and stew to individual bowls. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.
