Instructions
Sprinkle the cucumber with salt and let it sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Rinse and drain on paper towels.
In a medium bowl, gently toss the cucumber, fish, onion, and dill with the lime juice and olive oil. Season with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of cayenne. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill until ready to serve.
Serve on lettuce or endive leaves, with toasted croutons.
Note: If you are worried about eating raw fish because of parasites, use frozen fish. Freezing kills the parasites; many sushi chefs use fish that has been previously frozen for this reason.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Frank Family Vineyards Lewis Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 62 dollars per bottle.

The wine is straw yellow in color. On the nose expresses slow roasted pears and honeysuckle flowers. On the palate, the wine is bright and full bodied, with loads of Meyer lemon and fresh apricot flavors.
