• 1⁄3 cup continental parsley
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 anchovies

• 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

- Place the fish onto a sheet of foil (large enough to wrap the fish) place the butter and extra lemon juice on top of the fish and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the fish securely in foil and seal the sides to prevent the steam escaping.
- Cook in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is fork-tender, this time will depend on the thickness of the fish fillet.• Meanwhile, cook the pasta as per instructions or until al dente (approximately 10-12 minutes) drain the water and the leave pasta in a saucepan
- Gently remove the fish from the foil and reserve the juices, (careful when unwrapping the fish as the steam can burn). Flake the fish into pieces
- Heat oil in a frying pan and add the fennel, cook until softened and golden in colour, add to pasta
- Combine the salsa verde and fish with the reserved juices, then add to the pasta and gently stirthrough.
