1
Prepare the Fennel
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the fennel bulb into thin wedges and place them on a baking sheet.
2
Add Citrus
Zest and juice the orange and lemon. Drizzle the citrus juice over the fennel wedges and add the zest on top.
3
Season and Roast
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the fennel, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to combine. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
4
Prepare the Branzino
While the fennel is roasting, season the branzino fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
5
Grill the Fish
Place the branzino fillets skin-side down on the grill pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flaky.
6
Serve
Serve the grilled branzino on a plate with the roasted fennel on the side. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
