Four 6-ounce skinned salmon fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced orange zest

GARLICKY HERB-RUBBED HANGER STEAKS



Garlicky Herb-Rubbed Hanger Steaks image

Chef Shea Gallante of Cru in New York City based this recipe on a classic Florentine dish called "bistecca alla fiorentina"- a thick T-bone grilled rare over hot coals. Here, Gallante substitutes cheaper but equally flavorful hanger steak- which he thinks is an underrated cut- and rubs the meat with dried herbs, garlic and paprika before cooking it. From the June 2005 issue of Food & Wine. Preparation time does not include time to marinate.
