Ingredients: 1 whole branzino (1.2 lbs), gutted and scaled; 1 large fennel bulb, shaved thin on mandoline; 1 preserved lemon, seeds removed, flesh sliced thin; ½ cup castelvetrano olives, pitted and halved; 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced; 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil; 1 tsp za'atar; 4 sprigs fresh dill; 4 sprigs fresh parsley; ½ lemon, sliced thin (fresh); Sea salt & cracked black pepper; 1 tbsp salted capers, rinsed

A whole branzino (1.2 lbs) perfumed with preserved lemon, sliced fennel, castelvetrano olives and za'atar, sealed in parchment and roasted until the paper puffs with steam. Unwrap at the table to release the essence of the Levantine coast—tender flaked fish with the anise sweetness of fennel and salty-briny olive notes.
