Method
Cucumber Chips
- 1
Prepare the Cucumbers
Wash and slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Place them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
- 2
Season the Cucumbers
Sprinkle the cucumber slices with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This will help draw out moisture and enhance the flavor.

Prepare the Toppings
While the mousse is chilling, slice the additional smoked salmon into small pieces and set aside. Rinse the capers under cold water to remove excess salt.

Assemble the Cucumber Chips
Once the mousse is chilled, take a cucumber slice and add a dollop of dill salmon mousse on top. Add a small piece of smoked salmon, a few capers, and a sprig of fresh dill for garnish.
