Cut the kohlrabi and the 2 potatoes into small pieces, and cook them in a pot with boiling water until tender (approximately 10-15 minutes). Season them with salt and pepper and mash them all together until smooth.
Cover the sea bream fillets with grated cheese and hazelnuts and bake them skin-side down.
Cook the purple potato and cut it into small cubes, then cook the peas. Blanch the fennel and marinate it with orange juice, lemon juice and white pepper.
