    White Sea Bass with Orange-Fennel Relish

    Ingredients
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
    1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
    3/8 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
    3/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
    1 (12-ounce) fennel bulb
    1 cup fresh orange sections
    1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
    2 ounces halved Castelvetrano olives (about 1/2 cup)
    4 (6-ounce) white sea bass fillets
    1 1/2 teaspoons butter

    Preparation
    1. Combine first 4 ingredients, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Remove fronds from fennel bulb; chop fronds to measure 2 tablespoons. Remove and discard stalks. Cut fennel bulb in half lengthwise; discard core. Thinly slice fennel bulb. Add sliced fennel, orange sections, onion, and olives to orange juice mixture; toss gently to coat. Stir in fennel fronds.
    2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add butter to pan; swirl until butter melts. Add fish to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with relish.

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
