Meanwhile slice the cucumber in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Slice the cucumber and place into a heat proof mixing bowls.
Add the vinegar mixture to the sliced cucumber, cover and allow to cool. After an hour or so, place into the refridgerator until required.
For the salmon:
Cut the salmon fillet into 100g pieces.
Mix together the lemon zest and dill. Roll the salmon pieces in the dill mix and season with salt and pepper.
Place each piece of salmon fillet into cling film and roll end to end to make the shape of a sausage.
Place a large pot of boiling water of a high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook each salmon piece in the simmering water for approximately 6 minutes. Remove the salmon pieces and allow to cool.
To put the salad together:
Divide the mixed leaves across four large bowls. Divide the tomatoes and potatoes evenly into the bowls and top with some slices of pickled cucumber. Slice each salmon 'sausage' in half and place on top of the salad. Drizzle liberally with Bitton Turmeric and Black Pepper Oil and srve with a large spoonful of Bitton Spiced Mayonnaise on top.
Bon appetit!
