Ingredients

  • 1 pound watermelon or other radishes, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 fennel bulb, trimmed, quartered, and cored (plus chopped fronds)

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 6 ounce salmon fillets

  • ½ teaspoon orange zest

  • 3 tablespoon orange juice

  • 3 tablespoon white wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 orange, quartered and thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 15x10-inch pan with foil; lightly oil foil. Toss radishes and fennel with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread at one end of prepared pan. Roast 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, season salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange skin side down at other end of pan. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over salmon. Roast 10 to 15 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and radishes and fennel are fork-tender.

  3. For vinaigrette: In a screw-top jar combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, the orange zest and juice, vinegar, and honey. Cover; shake well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over salmon and vegetables. Top with orange slices and fennel fronds. Serves 4.
