Dilled Salmon Spread On Cucumber Slices Food

CUCUMBER CUPS WITH DILL CREAM AND SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Trim ends from cucumbers and cut crosswise into 24 (3/4-inch-thick) rounds. Scoop a 1/2-inch-deep depression from one side of each round with a small melon-baller, forming little cups. Drain cucumbers, cup sides down, on paper towels for 15 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper together in a bowl. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture into each cucumber cup. Top each cup with 1 salmon strip and 1 dill sprig.

SALMON WITH CUCUMBER-DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• While salmon cooks, combine yogurt, cucumber, dillweed, and salt; stir well.
• Gently transfer salmon to a serving platter, using two spatulas; spoon cucumber sauce evenly over salmon.

SALMON FILLET WITH CUCUMBER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat. Spray a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil or a doubled-up piece of regular aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray. Lay salmon fillet out on foil and season with salt and pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, combine mayo, dill and horseradish. Spread mixture over salmon fillet evenly with a rubber spatula. Shingle cucumber slices on top of mayo mixture. Transfer aluminum foil with salmon onto preheated grill and close lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Let salmon cool for a few minutes before slicing.

CUCUMBER SLICES WITH DILL

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine cucumbers, onions and dill. In a medium size bowl combine sugar, vinegar, water and salt; stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the liquid mixture over the cucumber mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving (the longer this dish marinates the tastier it is!).
