Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

Fish
Vegetable oil
1 4- to 4 1/2-pound whitefish, cut into 2 fillets, fatty portions trimmed along center and flap edges
3 cups coarsely chopped fresh dill (about six 1/2-ounce packages)
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
6 tablespoons white vinegar
Relish
4 cups diced peeled seeded cucumber (about 4)
2 pounds plum tomatoes (about 12 large), seeded, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup white vinegar
4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
Fresh dill sprigs

Steps:

  • For fish:
  • Line heavy baking sheet with foil; brush with oil. Arrange fish skin side down on foil. Finely chop dill and onion in processor. Sprinkle each fillet with half of salt and pepper. Press dill mixture firmly over. Pour vinegar evenly over. Cover and chill overnight, basting occasionally with juices.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Uncover fish and bake until just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
  • For Relish:
  • Combine first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Let stand 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Season with pepper.
  • Scrape most of dill off fish. Cut crosswise into 12 portions; trim neatly. Slide spatula under each, separating from skin. Arrange fish on plates. Drain relish and spoon over. Garnish with dill sprigs.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, pickling cucumbers. These cucumbers are smaller and have thinner skins than regular cucumbers, which makes them ideal for pickling.
  • Make sure to sterilize your jars and lids before using them. This will help to prevent the relish from spoiling.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers. This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • If you don't have time to make the relish right away, you can store the cucumbers in a vinegar solution for up to 2 weeks. To make the vinegar solution, combine 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large bowl. Place the cucumbers in the solution and cover them with a plate. Store the bowl in a cool, dark place.
  • Once you've made the relish, store it in a cool, dark place. The relish will keep for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Dill cucumber relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, salads, and even as a dip for vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make your own dill cucumber relish at home.
