Ingredients
- 4 pieces skinless salmon fillet (1 1/4 pounds total)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 seedless cucumber, sliced into half-moons
- 2 bunches watercress, thick stems removed (about 6 cups)
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
Directions
- Place the salmon in a large skillet; season with ½ teaspoon salt. Add 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and enough water to reach halfway up the salmon.
- Simmer, covered, until the fish is opaque throughout, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until cool, at least 25 minutes. Using a fork, flake the salmon into pieces.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, horseradish, the remaining tablespoon of vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the cucumber; toss to coat.
- Divide the watercress among bowls, top with the cucumber mixture and the salmon, and sprinkle with the dill.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
