Oven Roasted Branzino

• 1 bunch Fennel
• Fish Spice mix (see below)
• Salt & Pepper

For Fish Spice Mix

• Dried Lemon

1. Stuff Branzino with lemon slices and sprigs of fennel. 
2. Create incisions across the top of the fish just enough to pierce the skin and expose some flesh.
3. Dust and rub the fish with the Fish Spice Mix and some salt and pepper to taste. Don't over do the pepper as there is pepper in the Fish Spice Mix.
4. Lay the fish on a bed of lemon slices and fennel prawns and place into a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. 
5. Crank the heat up to 450 for another 10 minutes.
