Steps

  • Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment.

  • Divide dough into four rounds, mark with a cross, and bake for 20-30 minutes.
  • Reduce oven to 100°C and set bread aside to cool.
  • Prepare cucumber salad by reducing vinegar and sugar with mustard seeds, then mixing with cucumber and dill.
  • Simmer court-bouillon ingredients in 6 litres of water for 20 minutes.
  • Poach salmon in the court-bouillon for 25 minutes in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
