Stewed Fish with Tomatoes and Fennel

For this simple dish, buy fish fillets of the same size. The ideal thickness is 3.5-4 cm. In this case, the fish will cook evenly and tasty. By the way, fish spices should be chosen carefully so as not to overdo it with flavors. For example, even rosemary and curry will not override the taste of salmon. But fish with a softer taste needs sophisticated aromas – fennel, tomatoes, lemon – as in this recipe. If the lemon peel is not very bitter, do not cut it off (the lemon slices will retain their shape).
