If you have butter, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the lemons you could follow this main course with the Blackberry Lemon Chess Pie w/ Honey Jumbleberry Sauce. How I won the SF Food Wars – Pie or Die Competition as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 2 hours. It works well as a main course.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt.
Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into the salted water. Drop in the shells.
Add the artichoke hearts, carrots, and fennel. Cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes.
Drain and spread on a baking sheet to cool.
Season the fish steaks on both sides with salt and pepper and then season each steak with teaspoon of the herbs.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy, ovenproof saut pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the fish and sear for about 2 minutes on each side.
Remove the fish to a plate.
Replace the pan over medium-high heat and add the artichokes, carrots, and fennel. Season with salt and pepper and the remaining teaspoon herbes de Provence. Saut until brown, about 3 minutes.
Arrange the fish on top of the vegetables and place the pan, uncovered, in the oven to finish cooking, about 10 minutes.
When cooked, remove the fish and vegetables to a warm platter and keep warm while you make the sauce.
Place the saut pan over medium-high heat and add the wine. Bring to a boil, stirring and scraping all the browned bits from the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook until reduced by about two-thirds (this is a brothy sauce).
Stir in the fennel leaves and the butter, if using. Taste for seasoning and pour over the fish.
