Ingredients:

1.5kg pinboned salmon fillet, skin on

1 T extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle

1 t fennel seeds, coarsely ground

200g feta, crumbled

¼ C chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus extra to serve

Zest from ½ a lemon

2 spring onions, green part only, finely chopped

3 T flaked almonds

3 T caster sugar

2 t salt

1 t fennel seeds

2 bay leaves

1. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. For the radishes, place vinegar, sugar, salt, fennel seeds, bay leaves and ¼ C water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Add radishes and spring onion bulbs and set aside for 1 hour.
3. Place salmon on prepared tray. Combine oil and fennel in a small bowl. Rub fennel mixture all over salmon and season well with salt and pepper. Combine feta, parsley, lemon zest, and spring onion in a bowl. Sprinkle over salmon the top with almonds. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, for medium, or until salmon is cooked to your liking.
