Sea Bass Stuffed With Fennel And Olives
You can never have too many side dish recipes, so give Se It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, dairy free, and primal diet. If you have sea bass, salt and pepper, bulb fennel, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 30 minutes.
Instructions
Chop the onion into slim wedges and slice the fennel thinly before cutting each slice into batons, reserving the green fronds.
Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan and sautee the onion and fennel. Keep the heat fairly low to prevent anything burning and keep an eye on the pan. When the fennel and onions start to caramelise, remove from the heat.Rinse fish and pat dry inside and out. Season the inside generously with salt and pepper and brush the skin all over with olive oil.
Place each fish in the centre of a piece of tinfoil large enough to wrap a single fish.Spoon as much of the onion and fennel mixture as you can into each fish, piling the remainder alongside the fish on the tinfoil. Slice each olive into four slices and tuck these into the sea bass, as well as scattering around the fish.Wrap wach parcel up carefully, trying to seal in all the steam and juices, and place in an oven-proof dish.
Bake in the middle of the oven at 200C for about 20 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through.
Serve immediately, garnished with the leaves from the fennel, preferably on creamy mashed potatoes.NOTES:The dish would be an ideal dinner party dish as you can get it to an oven-ready stage and then just leave it in the oven while guests arrive. The olives lift what might otherwise be an overly sweet or bland dish and make it something extraordinary that I would be quite happy to find on a restaurant menu.More deliciousness for you!Fregola Sarda with a tomato, anchovy, chilli and olive sauce

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Seabass. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 18 dollars per bottle.
