Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Add the saffron to the water.
2

Once the oven is to temperature, heat a 14 inch paella pan or a 14 inch skillet over medium high heat. Coat the pan with some olive oil.
3

Add the fennel and onions, season with a heavy pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until wilted. Turn the heat to high and add the arborio rice and stir to coat the grains with oil. Add the garlic, sun dried tomatoes and fennel seed.
4

Once the garlic is fragrant add the wine. Let it reduce and then add the clam broth and the saffron water. Place the fish in the middle. Now place the peppers, 10 of the lemon slices around the rice. Place the remaining 2 slices of lemon on the fish. Season with more salt and pepper.
5

Shake the pan a couple of times to even out the rice, bring to a boil, then slide the pan into the oven. Set a timer for 15 minutes.
6

At the end of the 15 minutes open the oven door and scatter the mussels around the pan. Set a timer for 5 minutes.
7

When the timer goes off open the oven and scatter the shrimp. Close the door and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. Remove it from the oven and garnish with the parsley and chives. Serve with garlicky mayonnaise, crusty bread and a simple salad.
