Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 English cucumber
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
8 ounces smoked Irish salmon
Toasted pumpernickel bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the cucumber on a mandoline and place in a colander over a bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and allow the cucumbers to sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and place the cucumbers in a clean medium bowl. Add the sour cream, dill and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir with a rubber spatula to combine.

Pile the cucumber mixture on a quarter of the platter or spoon into a bowl that fits on the platter. Serve the toasted pumpernickel bread on the other quarter of the platter.

Cucumber Cups with Dill Cream and Smoked Salmon image

Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons rice vinegar, white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime) or lemon juice
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil or neutral oil
Kosher salt
One 12-ounce package Persian cucumbers (about 7 cucumbers), or 12 ounces English cucumbers sliced into half-moons
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves
1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts, or any other roasted salted nut, roughly chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce, sambal oelek or hot sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil or other neutral oil
Four skinless or skin-on salmon fillets, preferably center cut (6 to 8 ounces each)
3/4 cup arrowroot flour or cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil and a large pinch of salt in a large bowl. Thinly slice the cucumbers lengthwise about 1/8-inch thick with a mandoline or vegetable peeler. Add the cucumbers to the bowl with the dressing; add the cilantro and peanuts and toss until evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, if needed. Stir together the mayonnaise and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Set both aside for serving.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with a large pinch of salt. Place the arrowroot or cornstarch in a medium shallow bowl or baking dish and whisk in the cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dredge the salmon fillets until each side is well coated.
  • Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully add the salmon. Cook until well browned and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Give the cucumber salad a toss, then transfer to a serving bowl. Place each salmon fillet on a plate, drizzle with the spicy mayo and serve with the cucumber salad.
