How do I make it?
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Season both sides of salmon generously with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides and almost cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl whisk together 1 tablespoon chicken stock with cornflour. Add the orange zest and juice, lemon juice, honey and remaining stock and mix to combine.
- Transfer the salmon to a plate, leaving the oil in the pan. Add garlic and rosemary to the warm pan and sauté until the garlic is golden. Pour in the orange mix, season the sauce with salt and pepper and allow to lightly boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Return salmon to the pan and glaze with the sauce.
- Mix together the fennel, lemon juice, herbs and a pinch of salt and serve alongside the salmon.
