Method

For the salmon, heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Rub the salmon fillets all over with olive oil and season on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
When the griddle pan is hot, add the salmon fillets and grill for 4-5 minutes, turning once, or until they have golden-brown chargrill marks on both sides and are just cooked through.
Transfer the salmon fillets to a warm plate. Pour over the lemon juice and set aside to rest.
For the salad, in a large bowl, mix together the sliced fennel, fennel fronds, pine nuts and mi-cuit tomatoes until well combined. Stir in the crÃ¨me fraÃ®che, lemon juice and lemon zest and set aside.
For the chilli and mint dressing, mix all of the chilli and mint dressing ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
To serve, divide the fennel and pine nut salad equally among four serving plates. Place a piece of griddled salmon on top of each. Drizzle over the chilli and mint dressing and garnish with a lemon wedge.
