The Masterplan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillet on the baking sheet. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the whipped feta. In a food processor or using a hand mixer, combine the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Blend until light, airy, and creamy.
Slice the English cucumber into rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the topping sticks.
Once the salmon is done, let it cool slightly, then flake it into bite-sized chunks.
To assemble, pipe or spoon a dollop of whipped feta onto each cucumber slice.
Top the feta with a piece of flaked salmon.
Generously sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning over the top and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.
Serve immediately for the best crunch.
