Tips

  • Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
  • Cook the salmon to medium-rare. This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cucumber sauce. The cucumber sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a sauce that is made with fresh cucumbers, sour cream, and dill.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
