Ingredients:
Salmon
2 pieces of salmon, skinless (115 -170g each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried mint, dill or tarragon
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
2 teaspoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lemon (to finish)
Fennel Slaw
1 extra large fennel bulb, very thinly sliced (a mandolin is great for this)
1 Turkish cucumber
1/4 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
15g package of dill or tarragon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2–3 tablespoons lemon juice, more to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Step 1
Make the slaw. Place the slaw ingredients in a medium bowl and toss well, adjusting salt and lemon. Set aside.
Step 2
Prep the salmon. Brush the tops of salmon with olive oil. Place salt, pepper, dried herbs, granulated garlic, chia seeds in a small bowl and mix. Coat the top of the fish liberally with the chia mixture, pressing it down hard with your fingers, all the way to the edges. (If using salmon with skin, feel free to salt and crisp the skin side too, placing chia mix on the fleshy side.)
Step 3
Assemble the plates: Divide the fennel slaw between two plates and place fish on top. Squeeze with lemon and top with optional pickled red onions and fresh dill.
