Salad Ingredients

Garnish (optional)

Method

Preparation of Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fennel

    Trim the fennel bulb by removing the stalks and fronds. Cut the bulb in half, remove the core, and thinly slice the fennel using a sharp knife or mandoline.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Citrus

    Zest the orange and lemon, then juice both fruits into a small bowl, discarding any seeds.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the arugula, sliced fennel, black olives, and vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine and coat the ingredients with the dressing.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the Faroe Island salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Cook the Salmon

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place a generous portion of the arugula and fennel salad. Top with a cooked salmon fillet. If using, sprinkle fresh dill over the top for garnish.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the salmon is warm. Enjoy your Faroe Island salmon with arugula and fennel salad!
