Instructions
To make the salad, run a vegetable peeler down the length of the cucumber to shave it into long thin strips, discarding the seeds.
Combine the cucumber, shallot, dill, and green pepper.
Whisk the lemon juice and mustard in a small bowl, and whisk in the oil.
Pour over the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and toss.
Position the broiler rack 6in (15cm) from the source of heat and preheat the broiler.
Cut two or three slashes into the skin of each side of the fish. Season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning once, for about 8 minutes, until the flesh is opaque when pierced with the tip of a knife.
Serve hot with the cucumber salad.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Fish can be paired with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Gris with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.
