- 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.
- 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.
