 In a food process, puree the 1 cup salmon pieces, cream cheese, butter and lemon juice. remove from processor, place into small bowl and stir in the chopped dill.

On each of 4 plates, place one slice of the salmon. Spread about 2 T of the mousse over this. Top with a second slice of salmon and cover this with mousse also. Top with the final slice of salmon. arrange 2 of the long chives over the top of the napoleon. Garnish the plate with 2 sprigs of fresh dill, 2 lemon slices and 2 slices of the bread.
