- Cook cauliflower with coriander seeds in a pot of simmering salted water, uncovered, until tender, 9 to 11 minutes.

- Drain well in a colander, discard any seeds clinging to cauliflower and pat dry.
- Lightly mash half of the florets with a fork and gently stir in remaining florets.
- Whisk together eggs, flour, chervil, parsley, mint, chives, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl until combined, then stir in all of cauliflower.
- Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Working in batches of 6, drop rounded tsp of the mixture into the skillet, patting each lightly with back of spoon to flatten into a 1½-to-2-inch round.
- Fry, turning over once, until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes per batch, and transfer to platters.
- Add more oil to skillet between batches as needed.
- Top each fritter with a piece of salmon and ¼ teaspoon crème fraîche. Serve warm.
- Cauliflower can be cooked and mashed (without egg mixture) 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.
