Ingredients
- Nigella Seeds 1½ teaspoons

- Shallot 1 head
- Fennel 1 piece
- Smoked haddock fillet 2 pieces
- Pernod 2 tablespoons
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a small skillet, add the fennel seeds and place over medium heat for about 1-1.5 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool. Add the softened butter, finely chopped shallot, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fennel fronds. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2
Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced fennel bulb and 0.25 cup of water. Cover and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Uncover and brown the fennel for about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Season the fish with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture over medium heat. Place the fish in the skillet, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the fish and add 0.25 cup of water. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes until the fish is opaque.
Step 4
Push the fish to one side of the skillet and add the fennel. Add the Pernod, 2 teaspoons of the butter mixture, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fennel fronds. Stir and heat through.
Step 5
Divide the fennel mixture between 2 plates, top each with a piece of fish, and spoon the remaining butter mixture over the fish. Serve.
