3. Blanch the fennel: put into a pan of salted water for 2 minutes. Drain well.
4. Melt the butter in a flameproof casserole and add the flour. Cook for 2 minutes then gradually add the soup. Bring to the boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Season.
5. Add the fennel, parsley and lemon juice to the sauce and mix well. Stir in the fish, taking care not to break up the flesh. Cool.
