For the salmon:

- Preheat the oven to 60oC. Lightly sprinkle the salmon fillets with sea salt.  - Fill an ovenproof dish with olive oil and heat the oil to around 50oC.

For the vegetables & vinaigrette:

- Wash leeks, carrots and kohlrabi and dice into small cubes.

- Blanch and rinse with cold water. Finely chop the chives and mix everything together. Set aside.

- Blanch rest of vegetables, rinse in iced water, drain and dab dry.

- Make a vinaigrette using olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon thyme, sea salt and some black and pink pepper.

- Heat all vegetables in the vinaigrette.

For the horseradish cream:

- Beat the heavy cream until stiff.

- Wash, peel and grate the horseradish and mix with cream.

- Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Serving:  

- Drain the salmon fillets and arrange on a preheated plate. Position the vegetables around.
