Start by rinsing the fresh cod roe under cold water. Then, in a medium pot, bring water to a gentle simmer and poach the cod roe for 5 minutes. Remove from water and let it cool completely.
While the roe cools, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, and set them aside.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and finely dice the red onion.
In a large salad bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and diced red onion.
Once cooled, gently remove the outer membrane from the cod roe, and crumble it into the salad bowl with the vegetables.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, and Greek yogurt. Mince the garlic clove and add it to the dressing, mixing well.
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the salad bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and add the ground black pepper. Toss the salad gently to ensure everything is well combined.
Serve the salad immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to one hour to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy your low sodium egg roe salad as a light meal or starter.
