Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste, then place them in a shallow heatproof dish or bowl. Pour the white wine over the fish.
-
Step 2.
Pour about 1 inch of water into a wok and place a steamer rack inside. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium to maintain a simmer. Set the dish with the salmon on the rack, cover, and steam for 10 to 12 minutes. Monitor the water level, adding more if needed to prevent the wok from drying out. The salmon is done when it is moist and just begins to flake when tested with a fork.
-
Step 3.
While the salmon steams, make the fennel salad: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and honey. Drizzle as much of the dressing as desired over the shaved fennel, then toss with the pistachios, crumbled feta or goat cheese, and chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4.
To serve, place a piece of steamed salmon on each plate alongside a portion of the fennel salad.
