This codfish is marinated in sea salt and lemon for 2 hours before cooking in the oven with fennel. Serve with buttery roasted fingerling potatoes.

Rinse the codfish and then season both sides with sea salt. Place the fish on a platter and top with the lemon slices. Wrap the fish in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the fresh fennel in a small bowl and toss with a pinch of salt and the lemon juice. Refrigerate until served.
Remove the fish from the refrigerator. Spread the dried fennel on the bottom of a baking pan and then add the fish on top, drizzling with the 1 ounce of olive oil. Place the fish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the fresh fennel for the refrigerator and divide evenly between 4 plates. Put a codfish filet on the fennel and drizzle with some olive oil.
