Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound smoked salmon, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped

  • Finely grated zest of 1 lime

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 1 English cucumber

  • 1/4 cup creme fraiche, well chilled

  • 1 lime, peeled and segmented, each segment cut into 4 pieces

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Make tartare: In a small bowl, combine salmon, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and zest. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, remove skin on two opposite sides of cucumber. Trim the ends, and cut cucumber crosswise into 48 slices, 1/4 inch thick. Place slices on paper towels to dry.

  3. Step 3

    Using a butter knife or a small offset spatula, spread about 1/2 teaspoon of creme fraiche on half of the cucumber slices, and then top with a teaspoon of tartare. Place remaining cucumber slices on top, followed by a small dollop of creme fraiche and a piece of lime. Serve immediately, or chill, covered with plastic wrap, up to 1 hour.
