15 Minute Braised Fennel Salmon

Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs salmon fillet cut into 8 pieces skin and bones removed
1/4 cup + 1 TBS chicken or vegetable broth
1 large fennel bulb sliced thin, save 1 TBS chopped green tops to use for garnish
2 TBS fresh squeezed lemon juice
salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Directions:
Season salmon with a little salt and white pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 TBS broth in 10-12 inch stainless steel skillet. Healthy Sauté fennel bulb in broth over medium heat for 1 minute stirring constantly.
Add ½ cup broth, lemon juice, pinch salt and pepper, and place salmon on top.
Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes. Do not over cook fennel, or it will lose its flavor. This is our Stovetop Braising cooking method. Sprinkle with chopped green fennel tops. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.
Serves 4

Serving Suggestions:Serve with Pureed Sweet Peas

Healthy Cooking Tips: Choose fresh salmon that is cut from the thickest part of the fish. It will give better results. Even though this recipe is for 4, the salmon is cut into 8 pieces. This will allow them to cook quicker, without over cooking the outside before the center is done. It also keeps the fennel from being over cooked. Because temperature varies in stoves check the salmon for doneness after about 3 minutes. You can do this by sticking the tip of a sharp knife into the filet. The flesh will separate easily and it should look pink in the center. You want to cook it slightly less than how you want to eat it, as it continues to cook after you remove it from the heat. Salmon is best when it is cooked medium.

Prep and Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
4 medium cloves garlic, chopped
3 medium stalks celery, diced 1/4 inch pieces
2 cups + 1 TBS chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup tomato sauce
10oz jar of shucked fresh oysters, drained and rinsed, (if you can get small ones it is best)
10oz can of whole clams, drained and rinsed, (if available, use fresh clams and steam open in soup
1 TBS dried Italian herbs
2 TBS fresh chopped parsley
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
Prepare onion, garlic, and celery. Heat 1 TBS broth in medium soup pot. Healthy Sauté onion, garlic, and celery in broth over medium heat for about 5 minutes stirring often.
Add rest of broth, tomato sauce and Italian herbs. Simmer for another 25 minutes.
Drain and rinse both oysters and clams. If oysters are big add to chowder about 2 minutes before canned clams. Heat for another 5 minutes. *If you are using fresh clams in the shell add a couple minutes before oysters to give them a little extra time to open. If you are using canned clams you may want to wait until soup is almost done to add, so they just heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
