“Skrie doesn't mean anything, but this fish sure deserves a cool name. The recipe calls for anise seed, but the taste is not overpowering. Instead, it complements the lemon flavor.” - by SKRIE

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon anise seed
1/8 teaspoon crushed dried mint
1 1/4 cups water, divided
3/4 teaspoon honey
3 strips lemon peel
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 pounds salmon fillets

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a small saucepan, stir together anise seeds and mint. Stir in 1 cup water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 5 minutes, then stir in honey. Continue to boil until most of the water has boiled off. Remove from heat, and stir in remaining 1/4 cup water.
Place lemon strips in a bowl, and pour melted butter over the strips. Let sit 5 minutes.
Place salmon on baking sheet. Brush thoroughly with anise sauce.
Place in a preheated oven, and bake until done, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and brush liberally with lemon butter.

"This was very pleasant but I think the only reason I noticed the anise and mint flavoring was because I knew it was in there. Maybe more anise and fresh mint would have made for a more noticable flavo..." See morer? I also didn't think the lemon peel was enough to flavor the butter - you will probably need to add a little juice."

"As written, the flavors are SO subtle they are almost non-existent. I made the sauce with fresh mint (used a small-ish bunch that I removed after it had wilted down), and also added some lemon zest to..." See more the lemon butter. I brushed the cooked salmon with some reserved anise sauce before drizzling the lemon butter over the top. This turned out ok but it was rather a lot of work for pretty mediocre results. Oh well. Thanks anyway!"

"I love anise so I was very excited to try this salmon dish. Unfortunately,this was very bland to our taste. I whipped up a different glaze to enhance the flavor and rescue the copper river salmon aft..." See moreer tasting it :( Thanks for sharing."
