  • Total Time: 15
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 medium English cucumbers
8 oz smoked salmon
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Thinly slice cucumbers into rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
In a small bowl, mix chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a dressing.
Arrange cucumber slices on a serving platter.
Top each slice with a piece of smoked salmon.
Drizzle the dill dressing evenly over the salmon and cucumber.

Notes

Use English cucumbers for less moisture and uniform slices. If substitutes are needed, opt for thinly peeled regular cucumbers.
For a non-fish option, use smoked trout or turkey.
Fresh dill is essential for flavor; chives or parsley can be used for variation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
