Ingredients

  • 1 medium-sized sea bass (we'll adjust size and ingredient quantities according to number of diners)
  • 2 parsnips
  • 1 fresh fennel bulb
  • 2 carrots
  • 200gr small potatoes
  • 2 onions
  • 150ml white wine
  • 50ml fish stock (or vegetable stock if you prefer)
  • EVOO
  • Pinch of fennel seeds
  • Salt
  • Ground white pepper
  • Fresh thyme
  • Vegetable sprouts for garnish

 

Preparation

  1. Ask your fishmonger to clean the sea bass but leave it whole for baking. We'll slice the onions and fennel into julienne. We'll wash the potatoes, parsnips and carrots and cut them into quarters.
  2. Place the vegetables in our baking tray (since we'll later add the white fish, I personally prefer to do it in an Emile Henry ceramic baking dish or in a Le Creuset non-stick roasting pan, to make sure nothing sticks and to prevent it from crumbling). Add salt, pepper and fennel seeds to the vegetables. Drizzle with a good splash of EVOO, add the white wine and the stock. Stir well and put in the oven preheated to 200ºC for about 15 minutes.
  3. After that time, season the sea bass with salt and pepper and place it on top of the vegetables. Drizzle it with a little EVOO and a ladle of the vegetable cooking juices. Put it back in the oven and allow about 15 minutes for a medium-sized sea bass, or until it looks done.
  4. Before serving, the final touch is a few sprouts of your favorite vegetables, which add a fresh note! Ready to serve.
