Salmon is coated in spices and cooked until the skin is browned and crisp. Serve with buttery, herby potatoes topped with a tangy sour cream sauce flavored with mustard and horseradish.
Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain.
Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream, horseradish, mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mash the butter with 1/4 cup chives and the tarragon in a large bowl. Stir the reserved potato cooking water into the butter mixture. Add the potatoes, toss and season with salt and pepper.
Coarsely grind the coriander seeds in a spice grinder (or crush them with the bottom of a small skillet). Season the salmon with the coriander, a few pinches of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the salmon, skin-side down; reduce the heat to medium and cook until crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 more minutes.
Divide the potatoes and salmon among plates. Top the salmon with the horseradish sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon chives.
