    I don’t know about fennel, it tasted like licorice. Maybe trying it with broccoli next time?

    I substituted the cream with almond milk. Still turned out great! Just as creamy!

    Fennel? Never heard of it before! Is it like cabbage? 🤔

      Fennel is actually different from cabbage! It’s more like an aromatic herb with a sweet, anise flavor. You should give it a try!

    This recipe was a disaster for me! My fish was raw in the middle! 😩

    I don’t know. I tried it and the flavor was just… not good. Maybe I did something wrong? 🤔

      Maybe you didn’t cook it long enough? Try adjusting the seasoning next time!

    Good recipe! Even my kids liked it and they don’t usually eat fish. Thank you! 👏

      Really? My kids would never eat fish! What do you put in it to make them like it?

    2. 5 stars
      That’s awesome! Fish can be tricky for kids sometimes. Glad they liked it! 🐟

    I can’t believe how easy this was! Will impress my guests for sure. 🤩

    Super easy! But next time I might use less cheese. Too rich for me. Too much parmesan for my taste. 😅

    yum yum! I used cod instead of sea bass and it turned out fine! Was a bit skeptical but worth it.

    Baked fish?? Sounds bland. Give me fried any day. 🤷‍♂️

      I’m so glad you loved it! Fennel really does add a unique touch, doesn’t it? 😊

    Isn’t sea bass expensive? I am just a simple cook! Would tuna work?

  14. 5 stars
    Absolutely delicious! The flavors blend so well together. I’ll definitely make this again!
