Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Wash the potatoes. Scrub the skin with a brush. Slice into 3 mm thick slices, boil in salted water for 5–6 minutes, then drain the water.
Step 2
Clean and wash the fennel. Peel the garlic and onion. Finely chop the garlic. Slice the fennel and onion into thin strips, sauté in vegetable oil for 3–4 minutes, then add the garlic, wine, and a pinch of saffron. Cook for another 5 minutes until the wine has completely evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
For the marinade, cut the chili peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, wash, and chop into small pieces. Finely chop the anchovies. Mix the chili peppers and anchovies with lemon juice. Wash the salmon fillet, pat dry, and cut into 2 cm thick slices, dip in the marinade, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Grease a baking dish (30x25 cm) with fat and place the vegetable mixture with fennel in it. Mix the cream with 60 g of Parmesan and pour it over the vegetable mixture. Place the fish on top and drizzle with the marinade. Finally, layer the potato slices on top, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees (Convection +) on the second level from the bottom for 20–25 minutes.
Step 5
Crush the toast bread in a blender and mix with the remaining Parmesan. Sprinkle over the casserole and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for another 10–15 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
