Salmon with fennel and olive

Salmon is one of my favorite fishes. This time I wished to pair it up with some clean and distinct flavors. The meaty bitterness of green olives, the piquant flavor from capers, the heat of green peppercorns, and the delicate sweetness of fennel – all complimented well the soft succulent oily salmon. Baking the dish helped retaining the flavors of each of the components. A drizzle of olive oil completed it.
