    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the zucchini lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then quarter lengthwise. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the tomatoes.

    Cook the zucchini & peppers
    2 Cook the zucchini & peppers

    In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced zucchini in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the quartered peppers and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan. 

    Cook the fish
    3 Cook the fish

    Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season on both side with salt, pepper, and enough of the za'atar to coat (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook 3 to 5 minutes on the first side, or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. 

    *An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.

    In the pan of reserved fond, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the tomato chutney (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), currants, and 1/4 cup of water. Cook, stirring frequently and pressing on the tomatoes with the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is slightly thickened. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked zucchini and peppers topped with the cooked fish and tomato pan sauce. Garnish with the almonds. Enjoy!
