Ingredients
Roasted Fennel
1 large fennel bulb (about 400g)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 lemon
Salt
Pomelo and Salmon
2 large Corsican pomelos (or 1 if very large)
2 fresh salmon fillets
A drizzle of olive oil
Salt and pepper
Fresh thyme
Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon strong mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (traditional heat).
Trim the base and the top stalks of the fennel, then slice it vertically into approximately 0.5 cm slices. Place on a baking sheet.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, honey, and lemon juice. Brush this mixture over the fennel slices and season with salt. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, monitoring the cooking process to ensure even roasting.
Place salmon fillets in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 12-14 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the pomelos into rounds, removing as much of the white pith as possible to reduce bitterness.
Once the salmon is cooked, break it into chunks using forks.
Once the fennel is tender and roasted, assemble your plates: start with roasted fennel, add pomelo slices, place chunks of salmon on top, drizzle with vinaigrette, and garnish with fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
