Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the fennel

Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Cut the fennel lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; thinly slice the quarters lengthwise.
On one end of a sheet pan [on 1 sheet pan], toss the fennel with 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil; season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.

2

Prep the fish; roast the fennel and fish

Prep and cook instructions are identical for all fish options.
  • On a plate or shallow bowl, spread the za’atar in an even layer.
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel.
  • Rub the fish all over with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil, season the salmon and snapper generously with salt and pepper, the trout lightly; gently press the flesh sides of the fish into the za’atar.
On the other end of the sheet pan [on a 2nd sheet pan], place the fish, skin side down.
Roast, stirring the fennel once halfway through, until the fennel is just tender and the fish is opaque and flaky, 10 to 12 minutes.
While the fennel and fish cook, prepare the artichoke salsa.

3

Make the artichoke salsa

  • Coarsely chop the artichokes.
  • Scrape off any seeds from the roasted red peppers; coarsely chop any large pieces.
  • Rinse the capers, then coarsely chop them.
  • Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. [Zest and juice 1 lemon; save the remaining lemon.]
In a medium bowl, stir together the artichokes, roasted red peppers, capers, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fish and fennel to individual plates, top with the artichoke salsa, and serve.
