For one quart of water, add 2 teaspoons salt and 3 tablespoons vinegar; adjust proportions accordingly for more or less water. Bring to a boil.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven at 325ºF.
- Combine the salmon with the butter.
- Add salt (to taste), lemon juice, grated onion, grated garlic, parsley and dill.
- Soak the breadcrumbs in milk.
- Add the beaten eggs.
- Add the Parmesan.
- Stir the breadcrumb mixture into the salmon mixture.
- If the mixture seems too dry at this point, add a little of the reserved brine (about a teaspoon at a time) or if you have more lemon juice available, a little more lemon juice (a teaspoon at a time).
- Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
- Bake at 325°F for 45 minutes, or until cooked.
- THE SAUCE: grate the cucumber.
- Melt the butter in a pan over a medium-low heat.
- Blend in the flour.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and bubbly.
- Add the grated cucumber and paprika.
- Stir to blend.
- Serve with the salmon loaf and your favourite salad or vegetable side dishes.
- Chef's notes: This loaf can be made with red or pink salmon. Red is tastier. For the health-conscious, use the salt-reduced or salt-free varieties. And omit - or reduce - the salt in the recipe. I made this again recently, after MarieAlice's review - I hadn't made it for years and years. And not being very good at following recipes exactly whether they be mine or someone else's, I just HAD TO make some changes. I added several grated baby carrots (they are just so sweet and flavoursome at the moment) and several tablespoons of wheat germ. Then in order to retain the moistness, I added some extra lemon juice. And I discovered also that this is one of those recipes that is tastier cold!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon possible. Look for fish that is bright pink in color and has no fishy smell.
- Cut the salmon against the grain. This will help to create tender, flaky pieces of fish.

- Make the cucumber sauce ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the salmon spirals immediately. This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Salmon spirals with cucumber sauce is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the cucumber sauce is a delicious and tangy complement. This dish is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
