Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Slice the English cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds and use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out a small portion from the center of each slice, creating a small cup.

  2. 2

    Make the Smoked Salmon Mousse

    In a bowl, combine the smoked salmon, cream cheese, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Use a fork or food processor to blend until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Fry the Capers

    Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the capers and fry until they become crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Cups

    Fill each cucumber cup with the smoked salmon mousse. Top with pickled onion and a few fried capers for garnish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the cucumber cups on a platter and serve immediately.
