Ingredienser
Instructions
Cut the cucumber into thin strips with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer. Stir together water, sugar, vinegar, salt and freshly ground pepper, pour the brine over the cucumber and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and boil it in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes, until completely tender. Drain well.
Add cream and butter to the hot cauliflower. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender and season with salt and pepper.
Cut the salmon into four even pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a frying pan over medium high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until it has a nice crust and is just cooked through. Pour over the lemon juice just before serving.
Serve the pan fried salmon with cauliflower purée and tangy cucumber salad.

Tips & tricks
For an extra smooth purée, let the cauliflower steam dry well after boiling before blending. This gives a thicker, less watery texture, and the purée holds better on the plate if you want a more elegant serving.
Did you know?
Salmon gets an especially good contrast when it is seared with a crisp surface and served with tangy cucumber salad. Cauliflower purée adds a mild and creamy side that makes the dish feel more elegant without taking focus away from the fish. The combination of rich fish, fresh acidity and smooth purée creates a balanced dinner.
