Description

A whole side of salmon makes a stunning, popular centrepiece at a party or buffet, and is really simple to prepare.

Method

Step 1 of 4

For the salad, toss the cucumber in the salt, put in a colander, and weigh down with a plate. Leave in the sink for 1 hour, to remove the excess water. Rinse briefly, put it into a clean tea towel, and squeeze to remove excess water.

Step 2 of 4

Preheat the oven to 220°C (Gas 7). Whisk the sugar and vinegar with 2 tbs of boiling water to dissolve in a bowl. Toss in the cucumber and dill, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3 of 4

Put the salmon on a very large baking sheet, or a solid oven shelf, and rub with the oil. Season well and roast at the top of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until cooked, but moist in the middle.

Step 4 of 4

Serve the salmon with lemon wedges, the cucumber and dill salad, and a bowl of plain yoghurt.
