Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
Prepare the salmon:
Grind the coriander and fennel seeds in a spice grinder until coarsely ground. Set aside 1 teaspoon of the spices, transfer the rest to a small bowl, and add the sugar and 2 teaspoons of salt (reserve the remaining 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture for the sauce).- Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the fillets skin-side down on the foil. Rub the fish with olive oil, then sprinkle with the sugar-spice mixture. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the herb sauce:
In a blender, puree the parsley, chervil, chives, lemon zest and juice, and the reserved 1 teaspoon of spice mixture until a coarse paste forms. With the blender running, gradually add the olive oil and 1/4 cup of cold water and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.- Preheat the oven to broil. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Broil the salmon in the oven until the top is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center of the fillet registers 115°F (45°C), 9-11 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes on the baking sheet. Using two large spatulas, transfer the fish to a serving platter, discarding the skin. Serve with the herb sauce.
