Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre.

Steps:
- Peel cucumber. (Nota Bene: For a visual effect, use different peeling techniques -- my favorite: use zester to peel the cucumber, cut at intervals around the cucumber, then slice. Save peelings to garnish the serving plate.).
- Slice to taste. (Nota Bene: Your choice of slicing will affect the flavor greatly, in my opinion, so cut different sizes and sample for yourself! If you use thicker slices, take a small spoon out of the top in order to give a nice place to secure topping.).
- Arrange cucumbers for service and salt/pepper lightly to taste.
- Blend or fold salmon and cream cheese. (Nota Bene: reserve some bits of salmon for garnish atop each.).
- Add chives, dill, salt and pepper to taste. (Nota Bene: For visual effect, I recommend blending salt only into mixture, adding pepper atop plain cucumber instead, then sprinkling dill and chives on top. Also try sprinkling dill, then adorning each with small torn pieces of smoked salmon and then adding chives atop.).
- Dollop desired amount atop each cucumber slice. (Nota Bene: use icing bags with decorative tips to create lovely dollops.).

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, firm cucumbers, creamy goat cheese, and thinly sliced smoked salmon.
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers. This will help them to cook evenly.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the cucumber slices in a grill pan or under a broiler.
- Be careful not to overcook the cucumber slices. They should be slightly tender, but still have a bit of a crunch.
- Serve the cucumber slices immediately, while they are still warm.
