ARCTIC CHAR WITH CUCUMBER-FETA RELISH AND JALAPEñO-GOAT CHEESE HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• For relish:
• Toss first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Season relish with salt and freshly ground black pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
• For fish:
• Sprinkle fish on both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Place fish, skin side down, in skillet. Cook until skin is brown, occasionally flattening with spatula to prevent curling, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over. Cook until just opaque in center, about 1 minute.

TOMATO CUCUMBER AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• In medium bowl combine tomatoes and cucumber. Season with salt and pepper. Add vinegar and olive oil. Toss to coat. Sprinkle on feta and serve.

FETA CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove seeds and discard. Cut cucumbers into 1/2-in. cubes; place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Stir in onions. Combine the cheese, lemon juice, oil and pepper; add to cucumber mixture and stir gently.

CUCUMBER-DILL SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Half the cucumbers length-wise. Remove the seeds. Slice into thin ribbons. Put in strainer with some salt and allow to drain for about 10 mins (the salt will draw out some of the moisture from the cucumber). Slice the white part of the scallions thinly. Cut the green part into very thin slivers.
• Prepare a dressing from the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Mix the cucumber, scallions, dill, and dressing. Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and add pepper to taste.
