This simple recipe makes a light lunch or summery starter. I used the Peri Peri flavoured hot smoked salmon because the yogurt sauce is nice contrast for the chili kick but you can use regular hot smoked salmon if chili flavoured salmon is unavailable. The chili salmon was actually milder than I anticipated.
Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Ribbons
Serves two
Ingredients
- 150 grams hot smoked salmon (peri peri flavour)
- Half a cucumber
- A handful of fresh mint
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon black olives, sliced
Preparation
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the cucumber into ribbons. Aim for a small strip of skin on each piece (for aesthetic purposes). Arrange the ribbons on two plates.
- Finely grate the garlic (I use a Microplane zester), chop the mint and mix into the yogurt. Dot the yogurt sauce on top of the cucumber ribbons.
- Break up the smoked salmon into smaller pieces and add to the plate followed by capers and black olives. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Enjoy!
