Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 3/4 pounds salmon fillet, preferably center-cut, skin removed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 seedless cucumbers (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 2-by-1/2-inch sticks
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for garnish

Cooking Instructions

1. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge salmon pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the salmon and sauté until lightly browned on the outside but still pink inside, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan, add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and return to the heat. Sauté the remaining salmon and transfer to the plate.

3. Wipe out the pan again and add cucumbers, broth and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and simmer until the cucumbers are tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.

4. Uncover, increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the pan juices are reduced to 2 tablespoons, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved salmon and dill to the pan, cover and simmer just until the salmon is opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Garnish with dill sprigs and lemon wedges.

    Seared first to add color and flavor, the salmon is then combined with braised cucumbers--an unexpected yet delicious way to enjoy that vegetable's subtle taste.
