Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons butter
4 bulbs fennel, cut into wedge
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup apple cider
1 cup chicken stock
2 sprigs thyme
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
1 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons brown sugar
Grapeseed oil, to sear
4 (8-ounce) boneless and skinless salmon fillets
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Braised Fennel:
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the butter. Add the fennel and sugar and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the fennel caramelizes. Add the cider, stock and thyme. Cook until the fennel is tender and liquid is reduced, about 10 minutes Season the fennel with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the parsley and mix well. Remove from the heat and cover.
  • Glaze:
  • In a small saucepan, add the cider, cayenne and brown sugar and cook over medium heat until 1/2 cup of liquid remains. Set aside.
  • Salmon:
  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, to taste, and sear for 4 minutes in the hot oil. Remove from the pan and put, seared side up, on a quarter sheet tray with a rack. Spoon the glaze over the top of each fillet and bake until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oven to a serving platter and serve with the braised fennel alongside.

This recipe was a hit! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the fennel was tender and flavorful. The glaze was also delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this dish was just okay. The salmon was a bit dry and the fennel was not as flavorful as I had hoped. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I actually really enjoyed it in this dish. The sweetness of the glaze balanced out the bitterness of the fennel.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of maple syrup in the glaze next time.
