Wrap the remaining bread in plastic wrap and store in a cool dry place. Mix the butter and chives together and spread a small amount onto each square. Top with a small fold of salmon and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the oatmeal into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Pour into a bowl and add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, raisins and caraway seeds. Stir well to combine. Pour the buttermilk in and stir quickly until well combined. Shape the dough into a round about 6 inches in diameter and put onto a baking sheet.

HOT-SMOKED SALMON PICNIC LOAF

Steps:

• Mix the mayo, mustard, lemon zest, dill and some seasoning in a bowl. Split the loaves in half lengthways and scoop out a little of the bread from the base of each loaf, giving you a hollow to fill.
• Spread the mustardy mayo over the bread. Toss the flaked salmon with the lemon juice and capers, and divide between the loaves, filling the hollow base of each. Top with cucumber, radish and salad leaves, then press the lid on top.
• Wrap each loaf in baking parchment, tie with string to secure, then place on a tray in the fridge. Weigh the loaves down by placing a chopping board and a few heavy cans on top. Leave for at least 2 hrs, or for up to 1 day before eating - this will press the loaves, making them easier to transport and eat. Pack into cool bags and slice into sandwiches when you are ready to eat.
