A mixture of tomatoes, flat-leaf parsley, pepper, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so yummy. To use up the orange zest you could follow this main course with the Orange-Infused Dark Chocolate Ice Cream with Toasted Walnuts as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 45 minutes. It works well as a rather expensive main course.
Instructions
In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil.
Add the fennel, onion and celery, cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, wine, 3/4 teaspoon of the orange zest, the saffron and crushed red pepper and cook over high heat until the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato juices, season with salt and bring to a simmer. Arrange the fish fillets in the sauce in a single layer and season with salt. Cover and cook over moderate heat until the fish is opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes.
Mix the parsley with the fennel fronds and the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon orange zest; season with salt. Spoon the fish and sauce onto warmed plates, sprinkle with the parsley mixture and serve.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Seabass. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Rabble Pinot Gris with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Rabble Pinot Gris
Late morning fog, continually cool days and chilling afternoon winds add to a delicate yet flavorful wine. This Pinot Gris has a light golden color and a complex, fruit-scented nose that revealslayers of mango, jasmine tea, cinnamon, and cantaloupe. Smooth, light toasted walnut and honey balance the fruits, and give way to a crisp, lingering finish full of freshly cut grass and peaches.
