  • 3/4 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

  • 12 baby carrots (6 ounces)

  • 2 celery ribs, sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick

  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and stock to a boil. Add the potatoes and onion, cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Add the carrots, celery and jalapeño, cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and bok choy. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and lay them on the vegetables. Cover and simmer for 2 minutes. Carefully turn the fish fillets and simmer uncovered until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
