  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Brush four 150ml-capacity ramekins with oil.
  2. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper. Cover and place in fridge.
  3. Place the tomato, fennel, garlic and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a roasting pan. Toss to combine. Cook for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelised.
  4. Meanwhile stir pasta, breadcrumbs, egg, chive, parsley and extra virgin olive oil in a large bowl to combine. Divide among prepared ramekins. Use the back of a spoon to lightly press the mixture into the ramekins.
  5. To make the pesto, process dill, parsley, capers, almonds, lemon juice and lemon rind in a food processor until finely chopped. With the motor running, add macadamia oil in a thin steady stream until combined. Stir in romano. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat half the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place 1 ramekin, upside-down, in pan. Tap to remove risoni cake. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until heated through. Cover. Set aside to keep warm. Repeat with remaining ramekins and risoni cakes.
  7. Heat remaining olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook salmon for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking.
