Grilled Sea Bass with Fennel & Dill


Description

The fish is served with an orange and fennel salad is a perfect delight.

Ingredients

Sea bass:
2 whole sea bass, gutted and de-boned
2 bulbs of fennel, finely sliced
4 lemons, sliced
2 handfuls of dill tops
olive oil
sea salt

Orange and fennel salad:
2 bulbs of fennel, finely sliced
2 red onions, finely sliced
2 oranges, cut into segments
10g of chives, chopped
20 vine tomatoes

Vinaigrette:
10g Dijon mustard
20ml white wine vinegar
100ml hazelnut oil

Directions

1. Prepare the barbecue or set the grill to a high setting.

2. Stuff the gutted sea bass with equal portions of fennel, lemon and dried dill tops. Rub the fish with olive oil and season with sea salt. Place both fish on the barbecue or under a grill (if your barbecue is not large enough to accommodate 2 whole sea bass, grill in 2 batches).

3. Grill on both sides, rotating the fish as it cooks - so it has grill marks all over. Once the sea bass is charred, finish in an oven set to 200°C/gas mark 6 for 8 min or until cooked through.

4. Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette by combining the mustard and white wine vinegar in a bowl. Slowly add the hazelnut oil until emulsified.

5. Divide the slices of fennel, red onion, orange segments and tomatoes across 4 plates and garnish with chives. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve with the two whole sea bass cut into 4 large portions.

Enjoy!
