Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a large oven tray with baking paper. Combine all crust ingredients in a large bowl.

Put salmon on prepared tray, skin-side down. Spread marmalade over salmon then season. Firmly press crust mixture onto marmalade-coated salmon.

Bake for 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and crust is light golden.

Transfer salmon to a serving platter, top with watercress, radish and beetroot salad, spooning a little of the bowl juices over the top. Serve garnished with micro herbs.
