Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Rinse and dry the fish. Season all over, then stuff the cavity with some fennel slices, lemon and basil. Scatter the olives and any leftover fennel, basil and lemon into a roasting tin.
• Place the sea bass on top. Drizzle each fish with the oil and bake for about 30 mins or until cooked through and starting to brown.

Lay the bass on top, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper and bay leaves. Surround the bass with the apple cider, apple slices and clams. Sprinkle with the scallions and thyme. Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Discard any unopened clams. Remove the bay leaves and serve on a large platter.

Steps:

• Season the sea bass filet with salt and pepper and rub it with extra virgin olive oil. Remove the stalks from the bulb of fennel. Rinse and split in half.
• Slice the fennel bulb thinly and place it in a baking dish. Add the star anise, sea bass filet, the garlic clove with the skin on and the Pernod®. Cover the top of the baking dish with aluminum foil, sealing the edge. Place the baking dish on the stove until the aluminum foil begins to pop from the internal steam. Bake at 450 degrees Farenheit for 7 minutes.
• Remove the aluminum foil and the olives and sprinkle with the freshly chopped dill. Serve the sea bass filet with the fennel garnish and the cooking liquid.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix all the spices together. Brush a large square of foil with the oil, then scatter over the fennel. Sprinkle with a third of the spices, half the chilli and some seasoning. Rub the remaining spices and chilli all over the fish and in the cavity, put the fish on top of the fennel and stuff with the lemon slices.
• Bring the edges of the foil together and scrunch well to seal. Place the parcel on a baking tray and cook for 15 mins. Unwrap, scatter with coriander and serve with lemon wedges, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté fennel, leeks, shallots, garlic, celery and thyme until just soft but not colored, about 5 minutes. Add wine and simmer until reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer vegetables to a roasting pan that will hold fish snugly. Season fish with remaining oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Nestle fish into vegetables in roasting pan and dot top of fish with butter. Roast until flesh is just cooked through, flaky and easily slides off bone, 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, add potatoes to boiling water and cook until tender, 15 minutes. Strain, halve potatoes and season with salt. Serve fish on top of sautéed vegetables and pan drippings, with boiled potatoes alongside. Garnish with lemon wedges.
