Season salmon with kosher salt and place on top of fennel mixture. Pour oil over salmon and vegetables. Roast until salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Flesh will be slightly opaque. Don't overcook because it will cook a bit more while it rests on the platter.
Remove dish from oven and remove salmon and place on platter. Cover with foil. Place vegetables back in oven and cook another 25 minutes. Remove vegetables from oven and spoon fennel mixture and oil from baking dish over the salmon. Discard the cooked dill sprigs. Season with sea salt and pepper and top with fresh dill sprigs.
