Share:
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh pressed apple cider not hard cider
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon mustard seed divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small fennel bulb
- 1 medium honeycrisp apple
- 1 medium salmon filet deboned, skin on
Instructions
- Pour cider into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add fennel seed, 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Keep at a low boil for about 30 minutes or until cider has reduced into a sauce about the consistency of gravy.
- Strain cider reduction into a bowl and whisk in 1 Tablespoon of butter. Keep warm.
- Wash, core and slice both fennel and apple. Melt remaining butter in a large skillet and add the fennel and apple. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes. Produce should soften, but still retain a bit of crunch. Remove from heat and cool.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a rimmed baking tray with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, slice salmon in half from top to tail. Lay it open like a book and brush both sides with a little of the cider reduction. Season it all over with salt and pepper.
- Place the side without the skin onto the parchment paper. Heap the sauteed apple and fennel onto the top and spread it out evenly.
- Top with the second piece of salmon, placing it skin side up. Wrap the stuffed salmon a few times with kitchen twine and place in the centre of the oven.
- Bake salmon for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven, snip twine and serve at once with the cider glaze.
