  I think 30 mn cooking is slightly too long 20 t0 25 mn is plenty. Icooked one that we fished last weekend for just under 20mn .

  This is a great simple way to present sea-Bass! At first I was concerned that the fennel would over power the fish but, this was not the case. 20mins, as pointed out is enough time for this recipe. All the flavours are spot on!

  Simple, flavoursome, easy to make... what more does one want?:) Made this many times over, and still a firm favourite [says she who hated fish as a child].

  Excellent recipe but as others have remarked 20 minutes would be a better baking time - well it is in my fan assisted oven - 30 minutes was too long the fish was overcooked!

  Easy and looks impressive. 20 minutes is right for perfectly moist fish.

  This was lovely and I'm this making for the second time tonight. I used fillets and put the lemon, basil and fennel between them - like a sandwich. Such great, fresh flavours.

  This is wonderful and so very simple...served with crushed new potatoes and asparagus...for that seasonal perfection! I also only cooked for 20mins and that was more than enough for the fish!
