Place the fennel, potato, carrots, shallot,
and tomato in a medium bowl with 1
tablespoon (15 ml) of the olive oil, 1
teaspoon (5 ml) of the basil, the lemon
zest, and ¾ teaspoon (3.75 ml) of salt.
Toss to combine. Arrange in an even layer
in a 9- or 10-inch (23 or 25 cm)
microwave-safe pie plate. Cover with a
round of waxed paper and microwave on
High for 3-4 minutes. Add julienned
squashes, stir and replace cover.
Microwave on High for 1-3 minutes longer
– vegetables should be not quite cooked.
Arrange salmon fillets over the
vegetables. Drizzle with the remaining
olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining
basil and salt. Cover with the round of
waxed paper. Microwave on High for 5-9
minutes – until salmon is flaky – timing will
depend on thickness of fish and its
temperature. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes
before serving. Serve hot. If desired,
garnish with a wedge of lemon and fronds
from the fennel bulb.
