SALMON, RED ONION, AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH CORIANDER
4 teaspoons salt, divided use
6 Kirby cucumbers (or 1 large seedless cucumber)
2 pounds salmon fillet, seasoned with salt and freshly-ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for brushing salmon)
FOR THE DRESSING:
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups minced red onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/3 cup finely-chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
soft-leafed lettuce leaves (for lining plates)
French or Italian bread, thin slices, toasted
In a bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of the salt in 1 quart cold water. Quarter cucumber lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch slices. Add cucumber to water and chill 30 minutes.
WHEN READY TO PREPARE THE SALAD:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease a large shallow baking pan.
In prepared pan arrange salmon, skin side down, in one layer and brush with additional olive oil.

Cool salmon to lukewarm and in a bowl flake into pieces; set aside.
Drain cucumbers well; set aside.
In another bowl whisk together citrus juices, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, mustard, vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, onion, garlic, coriander, and pepper to taste. Add salmon and cucumbers and toss salad well.
