Ingredients

    2 5-oz center-cut boneless, skin-on salmon fillets
    1 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
    Zest of 1/2 lemon (Chef’s Tip: Chop your zest after grating it for a finer texture and more intense flavor!)
    1 tsp fennel seeds or anise seeds
    1 tsp mustard seeds
    Pinch each sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 450ºF. On a small baking sheet turned upside down, place a sheet of foil. Place salmon skin side down on foil. Drizzle oil over salmon and sprinkle with zest, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, salt and pepper. (MAKE AHEAD: Prepare salmon through Step One earlier the same day, then cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.)
Using the baking sheet to help you, slide foil with fish directly onto oven rack. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until opaque in center.
