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 fillet(s)

600 g, (4x150g fillets)

Fennel bulb(s)

Radish

8 small, thinly sliced

Red onion

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).
