This simple stew is sure to hit the spot on a cold night. Packed with mild white fish fillets, baby potatoes and kale, it manages to be both light and satisfying. Clam juice enriches the broth with briny flavor; look for it near the canned tuna at the grocery store. If you’re trying to include more fish in your diet, this is a good way to do it.
