American
- Remove the skin and bones from the salmon and thickly peel the lemon.
- Preheat the oven to 150°C, gas mark 2.
- In a high-walled pot, combine the oils, peel of one lemon, peppercorns and bay leaves and place it over a medium-low heat.
- Slowly heat the oil to 70°C and submerge the salmon into the oil. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the fillet becomes opaque.
- Remove the fillet from the oil using a slotted spoon allowing excess oil to drip off, and place on a platter.
- To make the slaw, thinly slice the apples and fennel bulb using a mandolin or sharp knife. Reserve the fennel fronds.
- Halve the second lemon and squeeze the juice over the salad and top with the fennel fronds.
- Season and serve with the salmon.
