These refreshing smoked salmon and cucumber boats are an elegant choice for a light lunch or a sophisticated high-protein snack. By pairing the rich, savoury notes of smoked salmon with bright orange segments and fresh basil, this dish offers a vibrant flavour profile that feels both indulgent and remarkably healthy. The crisp cucumber provides a satisfying crunch, making it a wonderful alternative to traditional sandwiches during the warmer months.
Ideal for those seeking a nutritious, low-carb option, this recipe is incredibly simple to assemble and requires no cooking. The combination of heart-healthy fats from the fish and the cooling creaminess of soured cream makes it a balanced choice for post-workout fuel or an impressive starter for a dinner party. Serve with dark pumpernickel bread to complement the smoky flavours.
