This week’s recipe is courtesy of Thalia, whose one of our red-seal chefs here at the market! She whipped up this delicious citrus & dill salmon with braised fennel – it’s as delicious as it sounds. This dish is not only incredibly easy, but it’s also fancy enough for a Sunday night dinner or even a special occasion (Valentine’s Day is coming up).
Not interested in Salmon? She also created included a recipe for a Chipotle & Orange Pork Chop.
3 small-medium sized fennel, cut into ¼‘s. Cut off prongs & core.
2 Tbsp. oil
salt & pepper to taste
Braising Liquid:
2 oranges (juiced and zested)
⅛cup Sugar
1 sprig of sage
1 cup vegetable stock
1 Tbsp. dried thyme
salt & pepper to taste
1–2 bay leaves
Instructions
Combine all braising liquid ingredients and let simmer for 10min. Strain.
Lightly toss oil, salt & pepper with the cleaned fennel. Sear in a hot pan. Place fennel in braising pan, fill with braising liquid roughly halfway to three-quarters of the way up the fennel.
