Instructions

    1.
    Use a speed peeler to peel the cucumber lengthwise into wide strips to create the noodles. Add the noodles to a mixing bowl with salt and stir to combine. Let it rest for 15 minutes to drain excess moisture.

    3.
    Drain excess water from the cucumber noodles and blot with kitchen paper to remove any further moisture and salt.

    Top the cucumber noodles with the creamy salmon mixture.
    5.
    Finely slice the scallions and roughly chop the dill. Scatter over the salmon salad to serve.
