Steps:
- Grate cucumber and toss with vinegar and salt in a colander. Set aside for 30 minutes to drain. With your hands squeeze juices from cucumber. Combine cucumber in a mixing bowl with remaining sauce ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Skin salmon fillets and remove bones. Fill a wide saucepan with water, about 3 inches deep. For one quart of water, add 2 teaspoons salt and 3 tablespoons vinegar; adjust proportions accordingly for more or less water. Bring to a boil. Carefully add salmon to pan and adjust heat until water is just below simmering -- it should shiver, and not quite bubble. Cook until fish has turned from translucent to opaque and feels springy to touch, about 8 minutes.
- Remove salmon with a spatula and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to serving platter, garnish with sauce and decorate with dill sprigs.

Steps:
- Coarsely grate cucumbers using large holes of a box grater. Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth, and place strainer in a bowl. Place grated cucumbers in prepared strainer, and toss with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Place in refrigerator; drain at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Meanwhile, stir together 6 cups cold water and 6 tablespoons of the salt in a large, shallow dish until salt dissolves. Add salmon fillets in a single layer. Refrigerate, uncovered, 1 hour.
- Remove salmon from shallow dish; discard salt water. Working in batches, if needed, arrange salmon in a single layer in a large, shallow Dutch oven or a large, nonreactive skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Add wine, onion, celery, carrot, lemon juice, dill sprigs, parsley sprigs, pickling spice, and peppercorns. Add enough cold water to submerge salmon (about 4 cups). Cook over medium until an instant-read thermometer inserted in cooking liquid reaches 175°F, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 10 minutes. Using a long spatula, lift salmon to remove from liquid. Pat salmon dry. Repeat poaching process with remaining salmon. Discard poaching liquid and solids in Dutch oven.
- Arrange salmon on a serving platter. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Meanwhile, place yogurt, chives, lime juice, oil, mustard, sugar, pepper, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons each chopped parsley and dill in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

HEALTHY LEMON POACHED SALMON AND A CUCUMBER LEMON SAUCE
Salmon ... what can you say. It has amazing health benefits. The best part ... you can just lightly season, bake, broil, patties, sandwich spreads, salads and, spicy, sweet, tangy, citrus, Asian or pretty much anything you like. Well this is one way I really like to cook salmon. I showed this recipe to a girlfriend who has to watch her sugar as well as her overall diet and she makes this all the time for her family. This is very healthy and quick well to make a great dinner. I use a pea puree for the base and serve with some steamed new potatoes and my grilled vegetables, and I dare anyone to say they were hungry after finishing the dinner.

Steps:
- Pea Puree -- In a medium sauce pan add 1/4 cup water, peas, mint, garlic and butter and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Transfer to the blender and puree until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. This can easily be made earlier that day. Just reheat in the microwave or on the stove before serving. It only takes a few minutes.
- Cucumber Lemon Sauce -- Again, make this ahead and just refrigerate. Peel the cucumbers and then grate them using the larger holes of your grater. You could also use a food processor or other appliance if you have one. Once grated, I place the cucumber in a collander or strainer and sprinkle with a little salt. Let it set about 15-20 minutes. The salt will pull out some of the moisture so the sauce does not become to watery.
- Once the cucumber has set and drained a bit, add it to a medium size bowl. Then add the mayonnaise, sour cream, pepper, grated onion, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix well and chill. Now since you only needed a little lemon zest and juice, slice up the other half of the lemon in 4 slices for a garnish over the fish.
- Salmon -- Takes just 10-12 minutes. In a large pan add the water, wine, peppercorns, mint, lemon juice, cut up lemon, onion and salt. Bring to a medium - high simmer and add the salmon skin side down, top with a lemon slice, cover and simmer for 5 minutes and turn the heat off and keep the salmon in the liquid until the salmon is tender but not over cooked. It should take another 3-5 minutes. It should flake easily but still a little pink and be moist.
- Serve -- I like to reheat the peas for just a couple of minutes, and put a small bed on each plate, about 1 cup per serving. Top with the salmon fillet, the lemon slice, a little salt and pepper to taste, and then a little of the cucumber lemon sauce.
- It is a nice easy, healthy dish which every now and then is a nice change to all those rich holiday foods. Make some steamed new potatoes and some grilled vegetables or broiled for a very nice light dinner. Even my best friend who is a meat and potatoes guy love this dish.
