INSTRUCTIONS
In a large, shallow ceramic or glass baking dish, combine the olive
oil, lemon juice, chopped fennel leaves, salt, and pepper. Pat the
fish dry with paper towels and add to the marinade, turning to coat
evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator 15
minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread 3 or 4 vine leaves on
a work surface, overlapping them to form a large, sturdy wrapper.
Place a few slices of fennel in the center. Cover with a fish fillet
and scatter a few more slices of fennel on top. Top with a half lemon
slice and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the fish in the vine leaves and
lay it, seam-side down, in a large baking dish. Repeat with the
remaining fillets, placing them in a single layer in the dish. Bake 20
to 30 minutes, until the fish is opaque throughout; open one package
to check for doneness. Immediately transfer to serving plates and have
guests unwrap the fish at the table. This recipe yields 6 servings.
