Sea Bass in Tomato Fennel Sauce image

I made this for dinner last night and it was FANTASTIC! The slightly anise flavor compliments the fish very well and would be equally good with halibut fillets or shrimp.I served this with sautéed zucchini and onions and a wild rice blend. The sauce was great over the zucchini too! A definite keeper and low fat to boot!

This dish was a bit too complicated for me. The sauce was difficult to make and the fish was a bit overcooked. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.
