Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the fresh salmon skin-side down. Generously season it with kosher salt and black pepper. Broil the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the center is just slightly undercooked at about 125ºF and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is broiling, prepare the creamy dressing. In a mixing bowl, whisk together whole milk Greek yogurt, finely sliced scallions, fresh dill, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the salmon has broiled, remove it from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes. When it's cool enough to handle, gently flake the salmon into large chunks, discarding the skin.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the cooled salmon pieces with diced Persian cucumbers. Pour the creamy lemony dressing over the mixture and carefully fold everything together.
- To serve, place generous spoonfuls onto crisp Bibb lettuce leaves or whole grain crackers. Serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes
For a crunchier salad, use Persian cucumbers and remove seeds from English cucumbers as needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
