Chef's Tip
The salad is delicious however you slice the fennel. To give the dish extra finesse, slice the fennel as thinly as possible on a mandoline, if you have one, or with the slicing blade of a food processor.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Make the olive tapenade

  • Finely chop the olives, checking for any pits.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure ½ teaspoon [1 tsp].
In a small bowl, stir together the olives, garlic, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand while you prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Prep the orange and fennel

  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange. Working over a medium bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane to release the segments into the bowl. Alternatively, cut the fruit in half crosswise and separate each half into segments. Discard any seeds.
  • Cut the fennel lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; thinly slice the quarters lengthwise. Set aside ¼ cup [½ cup] fennel slices for the burgers.

3

Cook the salmon burgers

  • Pat the salmon burgers dry with a paper towel.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the salmon burgers and cook, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan if using to toast the buns.
While the burgers cook, finish the fennel-orange salad.

4

Finish the fennel-orange salad

  • Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
To the bowl with the orange, add the basil, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil, and all the fennel slices except the reserved ¼ cup [½ cup] and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

5

Toast the buns

In the same pan used for the burgers, working in batches if needed, place the buns, cut sides down, and cook over medium-high heat until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven.

Serve

Place the bun bottoms, cut sides up, on individual plates and slather with as much Dijon mayo as you like. Top each with a salmon burger, olive tapenade, arugula, and remaining fennel. Close with the bun tops. Serve the fennel-orange salad and any remaining tapenade and mayo on the side.
Kids Can!
  • Press the garlic (if you have a press).
  • Measure the garlic.
  • Stir the olive tapenade.
  • Peel the orange by hand.
  • Assemble the salad.

Crazy good. Since we don’t normally eat burgers as pescatarians, this was a big treat. — Sunbasket customer Trisha J.
