No need to remove the skin from the fillets. Search for pin bones by running your hand on the flesh side of fillets. Use pliers or tweezers to remove the bones.

To prepare the cream, mix the cumin and coriander seeds in a dry small skillet saut ้ over medium heat. Toast the seeds, shaking pan often, until aromas are released, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Put spices in a spice mill or coffee grinder and grind to pulverize the seeds. Or, pulverize in a mortar with a mallet.

To serve, spoon the cream into bowls, dividing equally between them. Place 1 salmon fillet on each plate, the sides until the herbs, to cover half of the cream.
