M~Ocean Fennel Pollen Blend
from Pollen Ranch
Fennel pollen has long been one of our favorite seasonings, especially for oven-roasted porchetta or grilled pork chops. Yet its subtle scent of licorice balanced with notes of citrus and honey is equally magical on seafood.
Hence our excitement to discover Pollen Ranch's "M~Ocean" - a fennel pollen seasoning blend for seafood. Slightly spicy with hints of citrus and highly aromatic bursts of fennel pollen, M~Ocean is an unforgettable combination of seven simple ingredients - hand harvested wild Californian fennel pollen, almond, parsley, orange peel, Fleur de Sel sea salt, black pepper and cayenne.
M~Ocean is the perfect dry rub for shrimp, scallops and white fish such as halibut or striped sea bass. Try marinating steaks of salmon in M~Ocean, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper prior to grilling. We've even sprinkled a bit of M~Ocean in aioli and then served it alongside crab or fish cakes.
We love its versatility beyond a seafood rub. Add astonishing flavor to a simple ricotta cheese filling for ravioli, or a pasta primavera made with fresh spring vegetables. This spice blend brings lively flavor to chowders, cream sauces or even risotto dishes.
For years, we've only known the exquisite Tuscan Fennel Pollen from Antica Drogheria Francioni, prized for its purity and vibrancy. In the United States, Pollen Ranch pioneered the harvesting of Californian wild fennel pollen in 1999, and has become the world's largest producer of pure wild-crafted fennel pollen - and the first to harvest dill pollen.
