Serve this salmon dish hot or cold. It's an elegant choice of a luncheon or light supper. The crisp coolness of cucumber and the bite of fresh dill make a refreshing summer sauce for salmon. Dill works beautifully with salmon and cucumbers, but fennel fronds and snipped chives would also be lovely here. if you have leftover salmon, flake the fish with a fork and fold the leftover sauce into it for a delicious salmon salad that can be served with crackers or in a sandwich as you would chicken salad.

¾ cup(s)

Cucumber
