Fennel seeds have a strong aniseed flavour and a warm, sweet aroma. They give a wonderful flavour to the poaching liquid for the salmon.

Ingredients

Fennel seeds

1½ tsp

Peppercorn

½ tsp, black variety

Skinless salmon

600 g, (4x150g fillets)

Fennel

1 small, thinly sliced, fronds reserved

Red radish

8 large, thinly sliced

Red onion

½ small, thinly sliced

Baby spinach

60 g

Olive oil

1 tbs

White wine vinegar

1 tbs

Avocado

½ medium, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place 1.25 litres (5 cups) water, fennel seeds and peppercorns in a large non-stick frying pan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat. Add salmon and gently simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes (the water should be barely bubbling).
  2. Meanwhile, combine sliced fennel, radish, onion, spinach, oil and vinegar in a bowl.
  3. Using a slotted spatula, remove salmon from poaching liquid. Discard poaching liquid. Top salad with salmon and avocado. Sprinkle with fennel fronds to serve.
