Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Layer the potatoes, fennel and garlic with lots of seasoning in a round 35cm baking dish or ovenproof frying pan. Mix together the milk and double cream, and pour over the dish. Bake for 50 minutes, covering with foil if it browns too quickly.
step 2

Turn the oven up to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put the fish on top of the dauphinoise, drizzle over the olive oil and season well. Put back into the oven for 30 minutes until the fish is cooked through (the flesh should come away from the bones easily).
step 3

Mix together the salsa verde ingredients. Scatter the lemon slices over the fish and serve with the salsa verde.
