Welcome in spring with this simple, flavorful salmon dinner.
"Filets of salmon are seasoned with fennel seeds and sumac and then baked in a generous pool of ALIVE olive oil until tender. It gets topped with a bright green English pea and herb salad with a splash of PARASOL champagne vinegar, so zesty! A perfect done-in-30-minutes lunch or dinner option that’s delicious any day of the week." - Noreen Wasti [close type="rte"] [open type="ingredients"] [ingredient product="false" text="1 lb salmon filet(s)"] [ingredient product="false" text="1/2 tsp fennel seeds"] [ingredient product="false" text="1/2 tsp sumac"] [ingredient product="true" handle="alive" title="Brightland ALIVE olive oil" text="1 cup PRODUCT, more or less as needed to cover the salmon"] [ingredient product="false" text="1 head of garlic, halved & skins intact"] [ingredient product="false" text="1 lemon, sliced in thin rounds"] [ingredient product="false" text="1 cup shelled English peas"] [ingredient product="false" text="handful fresh parsley, dill, and mint leaves"] [ingredient product="false" text="flaky salt and black pepper, to taste"] [ingredient product="true" handle="parasol" title="Brightland PARASOL champagne vinegar" text"2 Tbsp PRODUCT"] [close type="ingredients"] [open type="images" count="2"]
