INSTRUCTIONS

MARINATED PACIFIC SALMON ROASTED ON OAK PLANKS WITH SHAVED FENNEL AND
DILL SALAD In a sauce pan over high heat, combine the salt, sugar,
coriander and fennel seeds, peppercorns, bay leaves and wine. Bring  to
a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from  the
heat and add the dill and let cool completely. Place the salmon
fillets in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Pour on the cooled wine mixture and let the salmon "cure" for 30
minutes only, turning once. Remove the salmon from the "cure" and
drain off any excess liquid. It is fine if spices or dill adhere to
the salmon. Lightly brush the salmon with some olive oil. Place skin
side down on a prepared oak plank and roast in a preheated 475 degree
oven for 4-5 minutes or until salmon is just cooked through. Serve
immediately on the plank if desired, accompanied by shaved fennel and
dressed with lemon-dill vinaigrette. 8 servings LEMON-DILL VINAIGRETTE
: In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, onions,
honey, capers and dill. Whisk in oil in a stream. Season to taste  with
salt and pepper. Store covered in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
