Mediterranean Roasted Fish Stew with Chickpeas

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 °F.
Generously season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, prepare a tablespoon of EVOO, the white wine, and the zest of one lemon, spoon over the cod and let it marinate until it’s ready to go in the oven.
In a large baking dish, toss the fennel, onion, and garlic in the remaining olive oil, add the bay leaves and season generously with salt and pepper. Place it in the hot oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Then, remove the pan from the oven, add the remaining white wine, the chickpeas, red peppers, olives, capers, and tomatoes and place it back in the oven to let some of the liquid cook out. Another 15 minutes. Taste and salt if necessary.
Stir the contents of the baking pan and then nestle in the pieces of cod. Bake again for 15 minutes. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley, thinly sliced lemon wedges, and a drizzle of EVOO. Serve immediately, never forgetting a hunk of crusty bread!
