Cut cucumbers into thin julienne strip after peeling.  First cut the
cucumber in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon. Cut
the halves into quarters and quarters into crosswise strips about two
inches long.  Cut these pieces into matchstick-size julienne. Next, in a
frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of butter until bubbling. Add cucumbers and
toss over moderately high heat for 2-3 minutes. Season to taste. Remove
from pan, stack strips and cut crosswise into fine dice. Toss with 1/4
teaspoon each of vinegar, salt and sugar. Fold in 1 cup sour cream and a
sprinkle of minced dill or watercress.
Place the salmon fillets over 2 quarts simmering water mixed with 1
tablespoon salt and 1/3 cup of wine vinegar.  Steam for 9-10 minutes.
Remove salmon, cover and let cool for 20 minutes then chill.  Discard
poaching broth.
Arrange fillets on a platter with watercress or crisp salad greens. Spoon
the cucumber sauce over them and serve with baked tomatoes, oven-browned
potatoes and a light rye bread. Serves 4.
