Bouillabaisse
French flavors, weeknight effort. Mixed firm fish meets shrimp in a 60-minute dinner worth keeping in rotation. Each serving lands at 420 calories with 40g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients
- 1 lb Mixed firm fish
- 1/2 lb Shrimp
- 1 lb Mussels
- 1 Fennel
- 14 oz Crushed tomatoes
- 1 pinch Saffron
- 4 slices Baguette
Steps
- Scrub the mussels and discard any that stay open when tapped — they are not safe to eat.
- Sweat the sliced fennel in olive oil 8 minutes until soft and sweet.
- Add the tomatoes, saffron, and 4 cups of fish stock or water; simmer 20 minutes into a fragrant broth.
- Season the broth boldly — it should taste of the sea before the seafood goes in.
- Add the firm fish chunks; simmer 5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and mussels; cover and cook 5 minutes more.
- Discard any mussels that did not open.
- Ladle into wide bowls and serve with toasted baguette for sopping.
