Whole Snapper with Fennel

After coming home from the markets I am super inspired to cook new and exciting dishes. This is a market dish that will defiantly please a crowd. It is perfect winter to include some fresh ingredients. Fennel is one of my favourite foods. It full of antioxidants and vitamin C. It is full of folate, potassium, and fiber for cardiovascular health. Left over snapper will go well in a leftover salad.
