- About 1 1/2 cups/375 ml olive oil

- 1 clove garlic
- Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Heat the oven to 250 degrees F/120 degrees C.
- Lay the fish fillets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them. Pour over enough oil to cover. Add the orange zest, fennel seed, thyme sprigs, garlic and some pepper. Bake until just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the fish from the oil. Garnish with the fleur de sel. Serve with a little of the cooking oil dribbled over.

Reviews
I agree with Christine. cooking time is off… I kept adding 10 min and checking the temp (125)… probably went nearly 30 minutes as I did not adjust the temp.
Loved the flavors — the combination of them and the orange zest, especially. Easy to prepare and tasted delicious. HOWEVER, the cooking time must be off. Granted, my fillets were thick, but 10 minutes at 250 was hardly enough time to get the oil warm. (My oven is pretty accurate .) Fish was pretty much still raw. I upped it to 350 for another 10 minutes and they were perfect. Just firm and opaque, yet still tender and moist. This recipe’s cook temp and time needs to be double-checked.
