Salmon another way

Salmon is one of those meals that is quick and easy. I usually run by the store on the way home from work to pick up fresh salmon. A couple of fillets are quick and easy~ and fill us up with those healthy omega's.

This is a great salmon recipe... it would work with chicken too! The fennel and onions make it extra special. It is just perfect for two.

Salmon with Fennel

WhistleStop Marinade (optional)

2 tsp fennel seeds, crushed

1/4 cup butter

1 onion, sliced

1 fennel bulb sliced

2 Tbs olive oil

2 large salmon fillets

2 Tbs white wine

To start, marinade salmon in whistlestop marinade for 15-20 minutes. (you can substitute your favorite marinade... but it won't be nearly as good:-) )

In a skillet stir crushed fennel seeds over medium heat until warmed and fragrant. Remove seeds to a small bowl. Add butter, fennel and onions, saute until onions are transparent. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and cook fennel for 6-8 minutes until tender. Transfer fennel and onion to the bowl with the fennel seeds.

Add olive oil to the same skillet, cover and cook salmon for about 5 minutes on one side over medium head. Turn fillets, add wine and cook for another 3-5 minutes. As the salmon is done top with fennel and heat through.

Serve with brown rice and a nice salad. It can't get any easier than that!

Y'all enjoy,
