Swordfish With Tomato Fennel Sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1 14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
4 swordfish steaks, about 1 1/2 pounds

Preheat the broiler and coat the broiler pan with cooking spray.

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until vegetables are very soft. Add the tomatoes, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and simmer an additional 10 minutes.

Sprinkle the fennel seeds and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the swordfish steaks. Broil 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the swordfish just loses its translucency in the center.

To serve, spoon the sauce around each swordfish steak.
Yields 4 servings.
