4. The salmon can be kept in the fridge until needed.
Tomato and dill sauce
1. Place tomatoes (stalk side down), butter, dill stalks, oil and sea salt flakes into a gourmet casserole dish.
2. Select Fan Plus at 200°C and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are collapsing.
3. Remove the dill and tomato stalks, then puree everything else in a blender until emulsified.
4. Pass through a sieve and finish with fresh chopped dill and the lemon juice. This can be kept in the fridge until needed.
Rye crackers
1. Place the rye flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl and mix together, add the butter and rub to a crumb.
2. Add the milk and combine with your hand until a dough has formed.
3. Pinch off a piece of dough the size of a golf ball and roll on a floured bench as thin as you can, lift off the bench with a palette knife or dough scraper and place on a baking tray.
4. Roll the rest of the dough out and preheat the oven on Fan Plus at 180°C.
5. Cook for 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness, they are cooked when they have a light brown colour.
