Ingredients

4 7-ounce John Dory or sea bass fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups dry white wine
7 canned anchovies, drained, finely chopped
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Brush John Dory with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add fish and cook until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.

Add butter and whisk until melted and smooth. Season sauce to taste with pepper.

    Arrange Fried Fennel in center of plates. Top with fish. Pour sauce over. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
