Ingredients

  • 2 small bulbs fennel, trimmed and cut into thick wedges, fronds reserved
  • 1 unwaxed lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 250g pouch ready-to-eat Beluga lentils
  • 2 large sea bass fillets

For the salsa verde

  • 1/2 x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves only
  • 1/2 x 25g pack mint, leaves only
  • 1/2 x 25g pack basil, leaves only
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 1 tsp nonpareille capers, drained and rinse
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. For the salsa verde, put the herbs, garlic, anchovies and capers in a mortar; use a pestle to pound to a coarse paste. Stir in the lemon juice and olive oil; season and set aside.

  2. Scatter the fennel and lemon on a large baking tray; season and drizzle with the oil. Roast for 15 minutes. Mix the lentils with 1 heaped tbsp of salsa verde, then stir into the fennel in the baking tray. Sit the sea bass on top; bake for 10-12 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and opaque. Serve immediately, drizzling over the remaining salsa verde and scattering with the fennel fronds.
