METHOD


Combine the salt, herbs, sugar and juice in a large non-metallic bowl.

Using a vegetable peeler, peel cucumbers into ribbons; add to the bowl, toss gently to coat. Cover; refrigerate for 40 minutes.

Transfer the cucumber ribbons to a sieve over a bowl. Reserve the liquid.

Just before serving, divide smoked salmon between serving plates; pile cucumber on top.

Combine the sour cream in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of the reserved liquid; drizzle over the cucumber. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

Top with tomatoes and extra dill.
