Mix sugar, salt and sugar well together, layout a double layer of cling film at least twice the size of the salmon and place half the marinade on the cling film, place the salmon on top and spread the remaining marinade on the salmon. Wrap well with cling film and refrigerate for 24 hours
Next day unwrap salmon, scrape of and discard the first marinade. Mix the chopped herbs, layout the cling film as before and smear with the Dijon mustard and finally top evenly with chopped herbs, wrap tightly with cling film and refrigerate for a further 24hours.
