Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 large fennel bulb with fronds; bulb quartered, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices; 2 tablespoons fronds chopped, divided
2 6- to 7-ounce salmon fillets
2 tablespoons Pernod or other anise-flavored liqueur

Steps:

  • Stir fennel seeds in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer seeds to small bowl; cool. Mix in butter, shallots, and 1 tablespoon fennel fronds; season butter mixture with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter mixture in same large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced fennel bulb and 1/4 cup water to skillet; cover and cook until fennel is crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Uncover skillet and sauté until fennel begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer fennel to plate.
  • Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon butter mixture to same skillet and melt over medium heat. Add salmon; cover and cook 5 minutes. Turn salmon over; add 1/4 cup water to skillet. Cover and continue cooking until salmon is just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer. Slide salmon to 1 side of skillet; return fennel to skillet. Add Pernod, 2 teaspoons butter mixture, and remaining 1 tablespoon chopped fennel fronds; stir to heat through.
  • Divide fennel mixture between 2 plates. Top with salmon; spoon remaining butter mixture over salmon.

This recipe was a disaster! The salmon was dry and the fennel and Pernod sauce was inedible.

I would not recommend this recipe. The salmon was overcooked and the fennel and Pernod sauce was bland.

I found the fennel and Pernod sauce to be a bit overpowering. I would recommend using less of both ingredients.
