1
Place the Jersey Royals in a suitable saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes until tender and just cooked. Drain and set aside
2
Pour the rapeseed oil into a shallow saucepan and warm to approximately 70°C
  • 600ml of rapeseed oil

Remove the pan from the heat, add the salmon fillets skin-side up and return to a low heat
4
Confit the salmon fillets in the rapeseed oil for 6–8 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked
5
Remove the salmon from the rapeseed oil (reserving the oil) and drain on absorbent kitchen towel. Season the cooked salmon fillets with a little lemon juice and flaky sea salt
6
Place the new potatoes back into boiling water for 2 minutes to reheat, then drain in a colander. Transfer the potatoes to a medium-sized saucepan and crush with a fork
7
Add the horseradish cream and spring onions to the crushed potatoes. Mix thoroughly and season with salt and ground white pepper to taste
8
To serve, place a medium-sized ring in the middle of each serving bowl, then spoon in the crushed Jersey Royal mixture
