  • At our table, salmon-family fish usually shows up sliced or in sandwiches, where it looks great at any gathering. But you can use it as a salad ingredient too, and the combinations are endless. Here's my own version — it's incredibly simple and perfect for an everyday menu, but for a party you can layer it in a clear glass bowl or plate it in individual portions. To start, hard-boil the eggs: cover them with water, bring to a boil, cook for 5–7 minutes, then drain, cover with cold water, and let cool completely. Peel the cooled eggs and chop them finely, then put them in a salad bowl. Wash the cucumber, trim the ends, and cut it into small dice — be sure to use only fresh cucumber. Add it to the bowl with the eggs. I use lightly salted trout; if it's too salty it can overpower the salad. Remove the skin and any bones, cut the trout into small dice, and add it to the bowl after the cucumber. Grate the cheese on the large holes — I use plain hard cheese, but you can experiment with feta or brined cheese for a different note. Add a little finely chopped dill. With everything prepped, stir in a little mayonnaise and mix well. Chill the salad briefly in the fridge, then transfer it to a serving dish. Very tasty — enjoy! This salad is best made right before serving; it's not recommended to store it, as it can spoil quickly.
