There are days when the market offers a new recipe ideas instantaneously: beautiful salmon filet for sashimi + fennel + red onion + new potatoes (I’ve decided to buy more potatoes). Finding fennel is quite rare in Tokyo and usually the only place you can get some imported is Nissin or National Azabu. Local one? Never seen any. But this time at the local farmers cooperative they were having fennels from Isumi! I jumped on the occasion. And then when looking at my purchased back home the combination of red onion, new potatoes, fennel and salmon all cooked in the oven together came instantenously.

So I finely sliced one red onion, two new potatoes, one fennel, the salmon filet then added dill, pepper, salt and olive oil and cooked 30min in the oven. And the result was just as expected, perfectly juicy and tasty, perfect for a casual diner.
