Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper; place one fillet on each package. Top with tomatoes, garlic, butter, and wine. Remove zest from orange with a vegetable peeler; thinly slice into strips to yield 1 tablespoon. Scatter evenly among packages; squeeze 1 teaspoon juice over each. Fold parchment over to enclose, making small overlapping folds along edges to seal. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets.
• Roast, switching rack positions once, until parchment puffs and fish is cooked through, 14 to 16 minutes. Place each package in a shallow bowl and open carefully, allowing steam to escape. Serve with fennel fronds, a drizzle of oil, and toasts.

COD WITH TOMATOES AND FENNEL SEED

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Saute chopped garlic and shallots until soft, but not browned, 5 minutes. Stir in anchovy paste, dried tarragon, fennel seed, 1 tsp salt and ground black pepper to taste. Add white wine, increase heat to medium high, and simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes (holding back 1/2 of the liquid) and tomato paste. Bring to boil then reduce heat to medium low; simmer for 10 minutes. Add reserved tomato liquid if the sauce is inadequate to cover cod. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. If making ahead, remove from heat, cool and refrigerate up to two days. With tomato stew at a bare simmer over medium-low heat, add cod fillets and poach in barely simmering liquid until just done, about 15 minutes. (Cover the pot if the sauce seems sufficiently reduced, otherwise partially cover and ensure that the sauce remains at a simmer). Add chopped parsley and remove from heat.
