- Using an electric hand mixer beat the crème fraiche, cream cheese and lemon juice together until smooth. Fold through the chopped fresh herbs and a pinch of salt. Spoon into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe little nosettes onto each rye circle.
- Roll up a small slice of salmon and curl out the edges to form a rose. Place one ontop of each canape and garnish with lemon zest and a small sprig of dill.
