Instructions

Step 1

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the red onion to the pan and sauté until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the whole cherry tomatoes, sliced fennel, stock, and the fresh thyme sprigs to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Cover the pan and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften and burst.

Step 5

Carefully nestle the fish fillets in the mixture.

Step 6

Cover the pan again and let the fish cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fish fillets. Ensure the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

To make the tahini sauce, in a small bowl, combine tahini with lemon juice and water. Stir vigorously until it becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Serve fish in the skillet and drizzle over tahini and an extra drizzle of olive oil.
