Ingredients:

For the Salmon Fillet:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 150-200g each)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tsp lemon zest

For the Orange and Fennel Salad:

• 2 large oranges

• 1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced

• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Cooking the Salmon Fillet:

step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C .

step 2: Season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.

step 3: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

step 4: Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.

step 5: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

step 6: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.

step 7: Preparing the Orange and Fennel Salad:

step 8: Peel the oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Over a bowl, cut between the membranes to release individual segments into the bowl, catching any juice.

step 9: Add thinly sliced fennel and red onion to the bowl.

step 10: In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the orange, fennel, and onion mixture.

step 11: Gently toss the salad to combine, then sprinkle with fresh dill.

Serving:

Plate each salmon fillet and generously top with the orange and fennel salad.

The combination of the rich salmon with the refreshing, slightly sweet, and anise-like flavors of the orange and fennel salad provides a light yet satisfying meal that's perfect for any season.
