1. Halve the cucumber lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Slice into half moons and put in a sieve, sprinkle with a little salt and leave to drain for 10 minutes.
2. Season the salmon fillets and put on a plate. Steam for 6 minutes or cover with clingfilm and microwave for 4 minutes or until cooked through. Rinse the cucumber and pat dry. Flake the salmon, mix with the cucumber, crème fraîche and dill and season with black pepper. Serve with the toast.

GI Assessment

Sourdough is under-used and underrated. Because of its acidic nature, this bread has a significant effect on keeping your blood sugars slow and steady. And the good news is that this will help to slow down the digestion of other foods in your meal, such as dessert - a double whammy of Gi benefits.

  Delicious flavours, but I would definitely serve it as a starter rather than a main as it gets a bit sickly after a while (or maybe I just ate too much :)

  PERFECT STARTER! Delicate cleansing & delicious. Will definitely make it again& again. Made it as a starter for roast fillet and it was perfect. The subtle delicate flavour of the dill blends wonderfully with the salmon and the cucumber adds crunch and compliments the tanginess of the creme fraiche. Superb! Tried the sourdough too but I am sure crusty loaf would work just the same.

  This one surprised me in a good way! I did not expect to get such a tastey end result. I had it as a light dinner without the bread - I'd probably prepare it again.
