Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 whole star anise*
- Star-shaped seedpods; sold in the spice section of some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Asian markets
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 1-pound Coho Salmon fillets with skin (loaded with Omega 3s and protein)

- 4 cups very thinly sliced fennel (from 2 medium bulbs)
- 6 cups stemmed kale, Swiss chard or a combination
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

Directions
-
- Place sugar, vinegar, star anise, and 4 cups cold water in large deep skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to boil over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Add salmon fillet, skin side up, to skillet. Cover skillet and remove from heat. Let stand 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, turn salmon over; cover and let stand until salmon is just opaque in center, 5 to 6 minutes longer.
- Remove salmon from liquid and cool. Empty water from pan and dry before turning stove to medium heat and adding fennel with a splash of olive oil to saute.
- Rinse and dry kale leaves then coarsely chop. Add to large bowl. Saute fennel over medium/low heat until translucent.
- Peel skin from oranges. Working over large bowl, cut between membranes, releasing segments into bowl. Repeat with second orange.

- Serve salmon fillet, skin side down, beside or on top of tossed salad and enjoy!
