While the TV was on in the background, my ears perked up between yelling at the dog and chasing my toddler. I glanced up and saw something about salmon, cucumbers, red onions and dill. Immediately I thought how delicious it sounded. Sort of like a homemade tzaziki sauce (which is delicious with salmon). So I whipped this up and it was so super easy and SO delicious! I will be making my salmon this way all the time from now on!

2 pieces salmon, skin removed
1 cucumber, sliced very thin
