Instructions
- Boil the Jerusalem artichokes in salty water until tender, then drain.
- Season the fish liberally inside and out and nestle the fennel twigs into its cavity. Get an ovenproof frying pan (large enough to hold your fish) very hot. Add the oil and butter and allow a little sizzle. Slip your fish in. Wiggle the pan for a moment, so the fish does not stick, then surround it with the boiled Jerusalem artichokes. Roll these around in the butter and pop the pan into a hot oven.
- After about 7 minutes, when the fish has turned a convincing color, turn it over and cook for another 7 minutes. It should be just about there and the artichokes should take on a nutty quality. Serve up with the lemon.
