- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dill
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumbers into even rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
In a food processor, combine the smoked salmon, cream cheese, heavy cream, lemon juice, and dill. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Season the salmon mousse with salt and black pepper. Blend briefly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the salmon mousse to a piping bag fitted with a star tip for a polished presentation, or use a small spoon for a more rustic look.
Pipe or spoon a dollop of the salmon mousse onto each cucumber slice.
Garnish with a small sprig of dill or a caper on top of the mousse, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
