With a sharp, thin knife, slice the eel fillet against the grain into thin sashimi pieces, about 5mm thick. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar and lemon juice. Set this dressing aside.
Wash and peel the English cucumber, then cut it lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
Thinly slice the cucumber into half moons and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the chopped fresh dill to the cucumber slices.
Pour half of the vinegar and lemon dressing over the cucumber salad.
Season the cucumber salad with half of the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Arrange the eel slices neatly on a serving platter.

Serve the eel sashimi with the cucumber salad on the side and enjoy immediately.
