When dinner needs a little drama, let The Fennel Countdown take the stage. This fennel-forward spice blend, with its bright notes of orange, thyme, marjoram, and garlic, was made for elevating salmon to star status. Imagine a fillet of wild salmon, seasoned simply yet boldly, roasting atop a bed of tender fennel, juicy citrus slices, and fresh dill. As it bakes, the flavors mingle—zesty orange and lemon, sweet licorice notes of fennel, and a touch of herby magic—infusing the salmon with every irresistible bite.

Salmon Salad with Summer Vegetables and Za'atar Dressing

while my zaatar gently weeps while my zaatar gently weeps refill

The za'atar strikes back in this amazing grilled salmon salad with fresh farmers market vegetables! I taught this fantastic recipe in our Healthy On You® online cooking class today and we had so much fun cooking together. I am still in awe of everyone cooking away in their own kitchens. It’s hard enough cooking sometimes, but having to keep up with me, well, that can be challenging. You have to do some prep work ahead of time but it is soooo worth it!
