Start by preparing the salmon fillets, ensuring they are uniform in thickness for even cooking.

Season the salmon with salt and a bit of sugar, and let it sit for about 20 minutes to firm up the flesh and enhance flavor.

After 20 minutes, rinse the salmon under cold water to remove excess salt.

Place the salmon in a baking dish and put it in an oven preheated to 48 degrees Celsius (about 118 degrees Fahrenheit).

Cook the salmon in the oven for one hour at low temperature.

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the garnish by slicing fennel thinly using a mandoline. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a vegetable peeler.

Slice cucumbers lengthwise to create a nice tagliatelle appearance.

Marinate the sliced vegetables in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper for at least 15 minutes.

For an additional garnish, mix salmon roe with diced cucumbers, lemon juice, and chopped chives.

Prepare a creamy lemon sauce by heating cream until it thickens slightly, then add lemon juice, and season with salt and white pepper.

Finish the sauce with chopped parsley for freshness.

Once the salmon is cooked, it should retain a nice pink color. Brush it with lemon juice before plating.

To serve, place a piece of salmon in the center of the plate, add the fennel and cucumber salad beside it, and drizzle some of the creamy sauce over the salmon.
