This exquisite appetizer of smoked salmon with fresh cucumber hails from Mediterranean cuisine, where simplicity of ingredients meets rich flavors. Salmon is a noble fish with a firm texture and smoky aroma that harmoniously complements the fresh, crunchy cucumber. Sour cream and Greek yogurt create a soft, creamy sauce that highlights the rich taste of the fish. Rye bread adds a subtle grainy note, while sprigs of dill complete the composition with refreshing herbaceousness. This light and elegant aperitif is perfect for festive dinners, romantic dates, or cozy home evenings when one wants to enjoy the refined flavors of Mediterranean traditions.
