INGREDIENTS

Two - 3 pound sea bass, filleted
1/4 cup chopped fresh fennel leaves, plus 4 fennel stalks
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
8 tablespoons unsalted butter

Crush the fennel stalks with the back of a knife and insert these stalks between the fillets of each fish. Let them stand in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

In a saucepan, combine the wine, chopped fennel, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the sauce over medium heat to 3 tablespoons; then fluff in the butter.

Let the fish reach room temperature. Broil them for 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Serve the sauce over the fish.

Serves 6

NOTE - If sea bass is not available, striped bass, white perch or grouper may be substituted.
