Ingredients (for 4 people):
1.6 kg fresh sea bream
1 untreated lemon
1 untreated orange
1 grapefruit
few leaves of basil, mint, thyme, parsley
salt, pepper
extra-virgin olive oil
1 blanched fennel bulb cut into thin, strips
baking paper
Method
1) Scale and gut the fish and cut it into fillets.
2) Remove the orange peel with a potato peeler and carefully eliminate the white, bitter part. Cut it into very thin strips.
3) Peel citrus fruits "alive" and obtain the wedges, taking care not to leave any white membrane; squeeze the juice and reduce it to half over low heat.
4) On a squared piece of baking paper, lay the fennel strips, the reduced juice, the herbs and the raw fish fillet with some orange peel on top, the mixed citrus wedges, a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper.
5) Wrap the baking paper in the shape of a bundle, then close it with a cooking string.
6) Bake at 180 degrees for 6 minutes.
