Salmon with Creamy Feta Cucumbers
from https://www.womansday.com/
The cucumber salad would be good with other dishes.
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 lemons
4 5 oz. skinless salmon fillets
Kosher salt and pepper
1 lb. seedless cucumbers, sliced on a bias
3 oz. feta cheese
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup small mint leaves, roughly chopped
Heat oil in a large skillet on medium. Halve 1 lemon and place halves, cut sides down, in the skillet. Season salmon with 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper and cook until golden brown and opaque throughout, 3 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer salmon fillets to plates. Transfer lemon halves to a cutting board and cut each in half.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss cucumbers with 1/4 tsp salt.
Finely grate zest of remaining lemon into a food processor and squeeze in 3 Tbsp juice. Add feta and yogurt and puree until smooth.
Toss with cucumbers to coat, then fold in mint and freshly cracked pepper. Serve with salmon and a charred lemon wedge for squeezing.
