PROVENçAL SALMON WITH FENNEL, ROSEMARY AND ORANGE ZEST
In 1998, Mark Bittman and Katy Sparks, then chef of Quilty's in Manhattan, developed this easy recipe for salmon encrusted with fennel seeds, rosemary and orange zest. It's a simple though sophisticated twist on weeknight salmon. A couple things to keep in mind when making this dish: Make sure you use fillets of equal size. Buy skinned salmon fillet from the thick (that is, not the tail) end of the fish then cut across the fillet to make the four pieces. Also, allow the fish to sit for a while after coating to encourage the fragrant seasonings to permeate the flesh of the fish.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Grind fennel seed coarsely in a coffee or spice grinder, and mix it with the rosemary and orange zest. Press this mixture onto the top of each fillet.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the oil or butter called for in the recipe and, when it shimmers, place the fillets, coated side down, in the pan. Cook about 1 minute, or until the spice mixture forms a nicely browned crust.
- Turn the fillets and cook about a minute more, then transfer to the oven. Cook about 4 minutes for rare salmon, 5 to 6 minutes for medium rare and 8 minutes for well done.

Tips for Perfect Orange-Rosemary Salmon
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon if possible, as it is typically lower in contaminants and has a better flavor.
- Use fresh herbs. Rosemary, thyme, and oregano are all great choices for this recipe. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you are cooking multiple pieces of salmon, make sure they are not touching each other in the pan. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through. The best way to check is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the salmon. If the salmon flakes easily, it is done.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Orange-rosemary salmon is best served hot, with a squeeze of lemon or lime.
- Enjoy! Orange-rosemary salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion.
