Ingredients Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pound coho salmon (sockeye or king salmon also work)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 orange
  • 1 fennel bulb halved and thinly sliced reserving some fronds
  • 1 shallot thinly sliced
  • ½ lemon zested and juiced
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ cup chopped fresh herbs (basil or tarragon or dill or mint)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Notes

  • Choosing sockeye, coho, or king salmon is recommended for the best flavor and texture. King salmon is the fattiest and most moist. Leftover fennel topping can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoyed as a side salad during the week.
