Ingredients
2
large seedless cucumbers (usually plastic-wrapped; about 2 lb total)
1/2
cup diced (1/4-inch) Granny Smith apple (less than 1)
1
1/2 tbsp finely chopped shallot
1
1/2 tsp finely grated fresh lemon zest
2
tsp finely chopped fresh dill plus 36 whole small fresh dill sprigs
1
1/4 cups flaked smoked whitefish (1/2 lb)
Directions
1.
Cut 36 (1/3-inch-thick) slices from cucumbers, reserving remaining cucumber. Scoop out and discard some cucumber from center of each round with a melon-ball cutter or a small spoon to create an indentation (leaving bottom intact).
2.
Cut enough of remaining cucumber into 1/4-inch dice to measure 1/2 cup.
3.
Toss diced cucumber with apple, sour cream, shallot, zest, lemon juice, pepper, chopped dill, and salt to taste. Fold in whitefish.
4.
Mound 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons fish mixture onto each cucumber round. Top with dill sprigs.
