Salmon with Apple Slaw & White Wine Jelly

Want to whip up something fancy but fuss free at your next dinner party...? This is the recipe for you!
Method
In a saucepan add white wine and bring to the boil. Take off heat and add the gelatine, stir until dissolved. Place into a straight sided pan, the liquid should be about 1 centimetre deep. Place in the fridge to set for 1 – 2 hours. Remove from the tin and cut into even sized cubes. Set aside.
In another saucepan place stock, lemon zest, garlic, bay leaves, thyme & peppercorns. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavours infuse. Place the salmon pieces in the stock and simmer for 6 minutes or until cooked through. Remove fish from the pan and cool on a plate.
Cut and peel apples and finely slice into matchstick size pieces, alternatively you can use a mandolin to shred finely. Place in a bowl and add lemon juice over the apple to stop from going brown. Finely chop fennel fronds and add to apple mixture along with roughly chopped walnuts. Gently toss.
Place half cup of rocket onto each plate. Place even amounts of apple mixture on top. Add salmon which has been gently flaked on top. Scatter white wine jelly cubes around the plate and garnish with fennel fronds.
