  3. Pat salmon dry and remove any pin bones. In a small bowl, mix chilli, lemon zest, sugar and salt together. Sprinkle over flesh-side of salmon then gently press down to adhere. Set salmon aside to cure for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Place fennel on one side of prepared tray, toss with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Place salmon, skin-side-down, on the other side of the tray. Bake salmon and fennel for about 6 minutes (depending on salmon thickness), until salmon is just cooked but still pink inside and fennel is tender. Remove from oven to rest for 2 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl combine lemon juice, first measure of parsley, horseradish sauce, mayonnaise and first measure of spring onions. Add potatoes and fennel and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. divide horseradish potato salad between plates. Top with salmon and sprinkle over remaining spring onion and parsley.
