Using a 4cm round cookie cutter cut out rounds from the toasted rye bread.
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.
