Ingredients

2	sea bass, whole, red snapper, cleaned and scaled	900 g
2 tbsp	olive oil	30 mL
1 pinch	salt [optional]	0.2 g
	ground pepper to taste [optional]
1 clove	garlic, crushed
1/2 tbsp	fennel seeds	3 g
2	fennels	700 g

Before you start

The fish can be cooked using either a broiler in the oven or an outdoor grill.

Method

Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 deep slashes into both sides of the fish. Brush the fish with half of the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Crush the garlic then put it in the gutted cavity of the fish with some of the fennel seeds. Put the remaining seeds in the slashes of the fish.
Cook the fish on a grill using medium-low heat for about 10-12 min, basting occasionally and turning it once. Alternatively, put the fish on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler 7-10 cm from the heat for about 5-6 min on each side. Check with a fork to see if the fish is cooked through.
Prepare the fennel: Trim the stalk and feathery leaves. Discard the stalk but reserve the leaves. Remove any tough outer layers, then cut the bulbs lengthwise into ½ cm-thick slices, reserving a few feathery leaves for garnish. Brush the slices with the remaining oil and grill for 8-10 min, until tender, turning them once.
Scatter the fennel slices on the individual serving plates, lay the fish on top and garnish with the reserved fennel leaves. Serve.
