Preparation
- Step 1
Finely mince the tops of the fennel bulbs, both stem and fronds. Reserve the bulbs for another use.
- Step 2
Place the minced fennel in a bowl with the fennel seeds, and whisk in enough olive oil to make a paste.
- Step 3
Coat the skinless side of the salmon fillets with the fennel paste, and place them, fennel side down, in a shallow pan. Cover the surface of the salmon, skin side up, with plastic wrap and place a weight on top. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and up to 24.
- Step 4
Just before cooking, brush off most of the fennel paste. Sprinkle each piece of salmon with ½ teaspoon of anise liqueur. Brush fillets liberally with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 5
Grill or saute to desired doneness.
