Salmon with Dill and Cucumber Salad

Warm salmon is layered over a refreshingly cool pickled cucumber-dill salad.

For salmon with dill and cucumber salad recipe you will need:

2 large cucumbers

3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar

1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

To make the cucumber salad recipe:

Slice cucumbers into very thin rounds.

In a medium-sized bowl place cucumbers with rice-wine vinegar, sugar, half of the dill, and 3/4 teaspoon salt.

Toss to combine, and set aside.

How to cook salmon on the grill:

Heat a grill or grill pan until very hot.

Place salmon on a platter, sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper, and coat with remaining dill.

Transfer to hot grill, and cook until nicely browned, approximately 3 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets.

Flip salmon fillets over, and continue grilling another 3 to 5 minutes until just cooked through. Salmon texture will be flaky when cooked.

Arrange pickled cucumbers on a serving platter, top with grilled salmon fillets, and serve.
