Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 230°C. Place the pork on a clean work surface. Pat dry with paper towel.
Step 2
Combine the sea salt, turmeric, garlic, oil and lime juice in a small bowl. Rub the salt mixture over the pork and rind and into the cuts. Place the pork, rind-side up, in a roasting pan and roast for 30 mins or until skin starts to crackle and crisp. Reduce oven to 180°C and roast for a further 2 hours or until cooked to your liking. Remove from oven. Cover with foil and set aside for 20 mins to rest. Thickly slice.
Step 3
Meanwhile, to make the fennel salad, combine the fennel, red onion, chilli, coriander and rocket in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Combine the lime juice and oil in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad. Season.
