This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The snapper was incredibly tender and juicy, and the fennel-scented tomato sauce was bursting with flavor. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The fennel flavor was subtle and perfectly complemented the snapper and tomato sauce. This dish is definitely a keeper.
