If you're looking for a simple yet delicious salmon recipe, look no further. Salmon fillets cook alongside fennel in the oven. Plus, combine simple ingredients, like garlic and lemon, for a tasty dressing to drizzle on top of the fillets. Everything cooks together, and the entire dish will be ready in only 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 bulbs fennel, thinly sliced

  • 2 lemons, halved crosswise

  • 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • kosher salt and black pepper

  • 4 6-ounce pieces skinless salmon fillet

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • 12 ounces mixed greens (about 8 cups)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400 F. In a large roasting pan, toss the fennel, lemons, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

  2. Roast until the fennel begins to soften, 6 to 8 minutes.

  3. Season the salmon with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and nestle in the fennel. Roast until the salmon is opaque throughout, 12 to 15 minutes.

  4. Squeeze the garlic out of the skins into a bowl and mash to a paste. Squeeze the lemon pulp and juice into the bowl. Stir in the honey, rosemary, remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ¼ teaspoon salt.

  5. Divide the greens among plates, top with the salmon and fennel, and drizzle with the dressing.
