For the beans, heat the Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) in a saucepan over a medium heat, add the Garlic (2 cloves) and Bay Leaf (1) and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the Cannellini White Kidney Beans (3 cans), bean liquid and Vegetable Stock (1 cup), bring to a simmer then cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Stir in the Tuscan Kale (1 head), cook for 2-3 minutes to wilt then stir in the Lemon (1/2) juice and season. Fold in the tomatoes.

Pan fry in Olive Oil (as needed) the Branzino Fillets (4) skin-side down with Salt (to taste) for 3-4 minutes until crisp. Flip the fish, remove the heat and leave to stand for 1-2 minutes (depending on thickness).
