Steps:
- 1. Puree cucumber and garlic in food processor. Place puree in a fine mesh strainer, press down gently with a spoon and let drain. (Cucumbers are largely water, so if they are not well drained, the dressing will be too thin)
- 2. Place remaining ingredients in food processor and blend together
- 3. Add pureed cucumber and garlic. Mix together. If too thick, thin with a little water, a teaspoon at a time. Refrigerate for an hour (or longer) before serving.

- Bring 1 1/4 inches of water to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet. Generously season with salt. Add salmon, skin-side down; return to a boil.

- Meanwhile, bring 2 inches of water to a simmer in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket (or a metal colander). Place potatoes in basket, cover, and steam until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp cucumbers for the best flavor.
- Grate the cucumbers on the large holes of a box grater. This will create thin, ribbon-like pieces that will hold the dressing well.
- If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried dill weed.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise for the best flavor. Look for a mayonnaise made with fresh eggs and oil.
- Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
- Chill the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
