Instructions
- This recipe originated on Giada’s Holiday Handbook. Episode: Live Well Party.
- For the salmon: Preheat the broiler to high and set an oven rack on the top third of the oven if your broiler is on top.
- Place the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the pieces evenly with the salt and drizzle both sides with the olive oil. Broil until the fish flakes easily but is still moist inside, 4 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. Remove to cool slightly, about 3 minutes.
- For the salad: Meanwhile, soak the fennel rings and radish matchsticks in a bowl of ice water for 15 minutes. Drain well and spin or pat dry. Whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar,
- Dijon and salt in a medium bowl. Add the fennel, radish and basil to the dressing and toss well to coat.
- Place a small mound of salad in the center of each of 4 plates. Top with a piece of salmon and a pinch more salad.

Love this recipe. It's great for a quick weeknight dinner. I more frequently do the version in the Eat Better, Live Better book that has a whole salad of greens along with the fennel and radish.
Too much salt in all recipes! Think of All people that have High Blood pressure and need nutritional and tasty recipes. Every Chef I see overdue the salt! .
