Steps:
- Coarsely grate cucumbers using large holes of a box grater. Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth, and place strainer in a bowl. Place grated cucumbers in prepared strainer, and toss with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Place in refrigerator; drain at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Meanwhile, stir together 6 cups cold water and 6 tablespoons of the salt in a large, shallow dish until salt dissolves. Add salmon fillets in a single layer. Refrigerate, uncovered, 1 hour.
- Remove salmon from shallow dish; discard salt water. Working in batches, if needed, arrange salmon in a single layer in a large, shallow Dutch oven or a large, nonreactive skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Add wine, onion, celery, carrot, lemon juice, dill sprigs, parsley sprigs, pickling spice, and peppercorns. Add enough cold water to submerge salmon (about 4 cups). Cook over medium until an instant-read thermometer inserted in cooking liquid reaches 175°F, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 10 minutes. Using a long spatula, lift salmon to remove from liquid. Pat salmon dry. Repeat poaching process with remaining salmon. Discard poaching liquid and solids in Dutch oven.
- Arrange salmon on a serving platter. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Meanwhile, place yogurt, chives, lime juice, oil, mustard, sugar, pepper, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons each chopped parsley and dill in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

BROILED SALMON WITH CUCUMBER DILL SAUCE

SAUTéED SALMON WITH BROWN BUTTER CUCUMBERS
A gorgeous salmon fillet needs little more than a sprinkling of salt and pepper and a few minutes of gentle sautéeing in melted butter. You could stop there and serve the fish with salad and a crusty piece of bread. Or you could go one quick step further and add minced garlic, chopped cucumber and dill to the pan. The cucumber turns nutty in the pan's brown butter, with a tender exterior that remains crunchy in the middle - a nice contrast to the silky salmon. Wild salmon, which is costlier than farmed fish, is worth the price for its sweet, smooth texture and brilliant color. Be sure not to overcook the fillets, which should be soft and barely opaque.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat and cook until foam subsides and turns deep gold in color, about 3 minutes.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper and add to pan, skin side up. Cook without turning for 3 minutes. Add cucumbers and a pinch of salt to pan around salmon and stir to coat with butter. Continue to cook, stirring cucumbers around in pan, until fish turns deep brown, about 3 minutes longer. Flip fish (move cucumbers to the side to assure fish skin makes contact with pan). Add garlic to cucumbers and stir. Cook fish until done to taste, 2 to 4 minutes longer.
- Transfer salmon to plates. Stir dill and lemon juice into cucumbers in pan and cook for 20 seconds longer. Taste and add more salt, pepper and lemon juice if necessary. Serve cucumbers and butter sauce over fish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven at 325ºF.
- Combine the salmon with the butter.
- Add salt (to taste), lemon juice, grated onion, grated garlic, parsley and dill.
- Soak the breadcrumbs in milk.
- Add the beaten eggs.
- Add the Parmesan.
- Stir the breadcrumb mixture into the salmon mixture.
- If the mixture seems too dry at this point, add a little of the reserved brine (about a teaspoon at a time) or if you have more lemon juice available, a little more lemon juice (a teaspoon at a time).
- Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
- Bake at 325°F for 45 minutes, or until cooked.
- THE SAUCE: grate the cucumber.
- Melt the butter in a pan over a medium-low heat.
- Blend in the flour.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and bubbly.
- Add the grated cucumber and paprika.
- Stir to blend.
- Serve with the salmon loaf and your favourite salad or vegetable side dishes.
- Chef's notes: This loaf can be made with red or pink salmon. Red is tastier. For the health-conscious, use the salt-reduced or salt-free varieties. And omit - or reduce - the salt in the recipe. I made this again recently, after MarieAlice's review - I hadn't made it for years and years. And not being very good at following recipes exactly whether they be mine or someone else's, I just HAD TO make some changes. I added several grated baby carrots (they are just so sweet and flavoursome at the moment) and several tablespoons of wheat germ. Then in order to retain the moistness, I added some extra lemon juice. And I discovered also that this is one of those recipes that is tastier cold!
