ROASTED SALMON WITH FENNEL AND LIME



Roasted Salmon With Fennel and Lime image

Fennel is used several ways to flavor these tender fillets of slow-roasted salmon. The seeds are mixed with lime zest and salt to rub all over the fish before cooking, which perfumes it through and through. Then a shaved fennel bulb is used two ways, both roasted in the pan beneath the fillets and tossed with lime juice into a crunchy, slawlike salad to serve on the side. Elegant yet supremely simple, this is fast enough for a weeknight but special enough to share with friends.

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 limes
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
1 large fennel bulb with fronds
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
6 fresh marjoram or thyme sprigs
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Finely grate the zest from 1 lime into a small bowl, and set aside the zested lime. Add fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the bowl and toss to combine. Sprinkle mixture all over salmon.
  • Meanwhile, remove the fennel fronds from the bulb and chop up enough to make 1/4 cup. Trim fennel bulb, discarding stalks, and slice bulb thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Spread half the fennel slices in a baking dish in an even layer and drizzle with oil. Arrange salmon on top.
  • Slice the whole, unzested lime into thin rounds and lay the slices on top of the salmon. Tuck marjoram around the salmon and drizzle salmon generously with more olive oil.
  • Roast until salmon is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (Thinner fillets may take less time, so start checking for doneness at 10 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, toss chopped fennel fronds and remaining fennel slices with a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Juice the zested lime and add some of the juice to the fennel, to taste. Drizzle the sliced fennel with olive oil and set aside to serve with the salmon.
  • When the salmon is done, drizzle it with more lime juice and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve with the fennel salad on top, and the roast fennel on the side, if you like.

SALMON WITH FENNEL

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups sliced yellow onions, 1/4-inch thick (3 pounds)
5 cups sliced fennel bulbs, 1/4-inch thick (3 pounds)
1/2 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fennel fronds
1 orange, zested
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (10 pound) fresh salmon

Steps:

  • Have the fishmonger cut the head and tail off the salmon and butterfly it, removing all the bones. You should have about 7 pounds of salmon.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Saute the onions and fennel in the olive oil for 10 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme leaves, fennel fronds, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper and saute for 5 more minutes, until the onions and fennel are tender. Taste for salt and pepper.
  • Lay the salmon, skin side down, on a cutting board and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Spread the fennel filling over half of the salmon. Pull the other half up and over the filling, enclosing it. Tie the salmon every 2 inches with kitchen string to secure the stuffing.
  • Place a sheet pan lined with parchment paper in the oven for 5 minutes to heat it. Carefully transfer the salmon to the hot sheet pan and bake it for exactly 30 minutes (10 minutes for each 1-inch of thickness). Do not overbake!
  • Allow to cool slightly, then remove the strings. To serve, cut into thick slices with a very sharp knife. This salmon is delicious hot or at room temperature.
  • Note: If you're making this in advance, be sure to cool the filling before stuffing the salmon. Refrigerate until ready to roast.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 2 1/2-pound whole salmon fillets
2 1/2 cups white wine
2 tablespoons Pernod

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
12 cups stemmed watercress, blanched briefly, refreshed in cold water and drained

Steps:

Pour half of the wine and half of the Pernod around the salmon in each pan. Scatter half of the sliced fennel over each fillet. Roast until salmon is just cooked through, about 30 minutes, basting from time to time.
  • Using 2 long spatulas, carefully transfer the fillets to platters. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the watercress with the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the watercress around the salmon. Chop the fennel greens, and sprinkle them over the top.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     appetizer

Time P2DT15m

Yield 20 to 30 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (3-pound) center-cut fresh salmon fillet
1 large bunch of fresh dill, plus extra for garnish
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons of Pernod
2 tablespoons whole peppercorns, crushed
1 tablespoon whole fennel seeds, crushed
Thin, dark pumpernickel bread, for serving
Gravlax Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey mustard
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons good white wine vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut the salmon fillet in 2 pieces crosswise and place one piece in a deep dish, skin side down. Combine the salt, sugar, peppercorns, and fennel seeds in a small bowl. Wash and shake dry the dill and arrange it over the fish. Sprinkle dry mixture evenly over the dill and salmon. Add Pernod over the top of salmon. Place the other piece of salmon over the dill and spices, skin side up. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place a smaller dish on top of the plastic wrap and weight it with heavy cans. Refrigerate the salmon for at least 2 to 3 days, turning it every 12 hours and basting it with the liquid that collects.
  • To serve, lay the salmon fillets flat on a cutting board and scrape off most of the dill and spices. Slice with a long, thin knife, as you would for smoked salmon. Lay the slices of bread on a cutting board, spread with the Gravlax Sauce, and place a slice of salmon on top, covering the bread completely. Cut each bread slice in half, decorate with a sprig of dill, and serve at room temperature.
  • Whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey mustard, whole-grain mustard, ground mustard, sugar, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Combine the olive and grapeseed oils in a small measuring cup. Slowly add the oil mixture to the mustard mixture, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Stir in the dill and salt.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon for its superior flavor and health benefits. Ensure it's fresh with bright flesh and no fishy odor.
  • Searing the Salmon: To achieve a crispy skin, pat the salmon dry before searing. Use a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and sear the salmon skin side down for 3-4 minutes. Resist the urge to move it around, as this can prevent a crispy skin.
  • Cooking the Salmon: After searing, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the salmon for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). This ensures a perfectly cooked, tender, and flaky salmon.
  • Fennel and Pernod Sauce: To enhance the flavors of the salmon, prepare a fennel and Pernod sauce. Sauté fennel in butter until tender, then add Pernod and heavy cream. Simmer until the sauce thickens, creating a rich and flavorful complement to the salmon.
  • Garnish and Serving: Elevate the dish by garnishing it with fresh herbs like dill or chives. Serve the salmon with the fennel and Pernod sauce, accompanied by roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

This recipe combines the delicate flavors of salmon, fennel, and Pernod to create a truly exceptional dish. With its crispy skin, tender flesh, and flavorful sauce, this salmon dish is sure to impress. Whether you're cooking for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, this recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
