Spelt Soda Bread with Cured Salmon and a Dill and Mustard Mayonnaise

There's something so comforting about freshly baked bread and this spelt soda is brilliant for sharing. Serve with mustard mayonnaise and salmon.

Ingredients

  • 300g wholemeal flour
  • 10g oats
  • 1 tsp bicarb
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 200ml buttermilk
  • 100ml full fat milk
Salmon
  • 500g fresh salmon, pine board and belly removed
  • 200g table salt
  • 200g caster sugar
Mustard Mayonnaise
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 200ml veg oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small bunch dill

Method

  1. Put the salt and sugar into a bowl and mix.
  2. Line a large tray with cling film, doing several layers and pour half of the mixture into the tray, making sure it is spread over the tray.
  3. Place in the salmon and cover the top side with the remaining mixture. Wrap tightly in cling film and leave in the fridge for 24 hours.
  4. Mix all the ingredients together for the bread and shape it into a large circle. Pop onto a tray to bake at 200c for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove the cling film from the salmon and rinse under cold running water to wash away the remaining mix; pat the salmon dry with a tea-towel.
  6. To make the mayo, pop the egg yolks and Dijon mustard into a food processor and blitz. Then drizzle in the oil slowly until thick. Finish by adding dill, lemon and season.
  7. Slice the salmon thinly, pop the mayo in a bowl and serve with bread.
