Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Seafood     Fish     Salmon     Yogurt     Capers     Fennel     No-Cook     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, divided
Kosher salt
3 Tbsp. whole grain mustard
2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped capers
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 large fennel bulb
2 lb. hot-smoked salmon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix yogurt and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl; season with salt.
  • Mix mustard, capers, and 2 Tbsp. oil in another small bowl. Set dressing aside.
  • Cut fennel stems away from bulb, then cut fronds away from stems; you'll use each part, but they're prepped separately. Thinly slice stems crosswise and place in a medium bowl. Coarsely tear fennel fronds until you have about 1 cup and add to bowl. Remove tough outer layers from fennel bulb; discard. Slice bulb in half, then thinly slice crosswise; add to bowl. Add 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, season with salt, and toss to coat.

SALMON WITH FENNEL



Salmon with Fennel image

Provided by Ina Garten

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.

FENNEL-SMOKED SALMON



Fennel-Smoked Salmon image

Definitely give this a try if you have problems with salmon sticking to your grill grates. Since the fish never touches the grill here, it's easy on, easy off. Just this feature alone makes the technique worthwhile.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Seafood Main Dish Recipes     Salmon     Salmon Fillet Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups wood chips
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and very thinly sliced
2 (7 ounce) salmon fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons fennel fronds and threads
1 pinch white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place wood chips in a bowl; cover with several inches of cold water and let soak for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Sprinkle wood chips over coals and close grill lid, leaving top vents open. When smoke rises from the vents, shut them, open the grill, and place fennel slices directly on the grates to create a bed.
  • Generously season salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Place salmon on top of fennel slices. Close the grill lid, leaving the vents shut. Cook until salmon is tender and starting to flake, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Scrape fennel from the grill and place atop salmon while it rests or discard it (see Editor's Note).
  • Combine tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, fennel fronds, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Spoon tomato mixture over salmon and serve.
