this simple, one-pan dish is light and delicious. With the flavors of fennel,

roasted tomatoes, garlic, and lemon, it’s sure to impress.

FoR Roasted vegetables:

1 small bulb fennel (about 6 ounces

[168 g], once trimmed from stem)

1 pint (300 g) cherry tomatoes

2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

2 teaspoons olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

FoR salMon:

2 fillets (5 ounces, or 140 g each)

salmon, skin and pin bones removed

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

to make the roasted vegetables: Preheat the oven to 450 ̊F (230 ̊C, or gas

mark 8). Cut the bulb of fennel in half down the center, then use your knife

to cut out the small solid core of the fennel in a “V” shape. Thinly slice the

cored fennel bulb.

Place the fennel, cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and some salt and

pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss to combine, then roast in the oven

for 20 minutes.

Take the pan out of the oven, stir the vegetables, and push them to one

side of the baking sheet.

to make the salmon: Place the fillets of salmon on the baking sheet

next to the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the fillets with the lemon juice and

olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the pan back into the oven

and cook for 7 to 10 more minutes, or until the fish is cooked through but

still very moist. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish.

Use a spatula to transfer the fish to 2 plates. Top with the roasted

tomatoes and fennel. Serve.

Yield: 2 servings

Chef’s Tip

Perfectly cooked salmon should be flaky and moist. Watch the salmon

carefully to avoid overcooking.
