Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mix 120 g of the skyr with half the lemon juice, all the zest, the garlic, honey, 1 tbsp of the dill and a pinch of salt.
  2. Step 2: Coat the salmon flesh with the marinade and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Put the salmon skin-side down on a lined, oiled tray.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 10-12 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the centre is just opaque.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, shave the cucumber into ribbons. Toss with the vinegar, sugar, red onion and a pinch of salt, and let stand for 10 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Stir the remaining skyr with the rest of the lemon juice and 1 tbsp of dill to make a sauce.
  7. Step 7: Serve the salmon on the cucumber, with a spoonful of the skyr sauce and the last of the dill on top.
