This recipe is an accompaniment for Grilled Brined Salmon and Eggplant with Fennel Cucumber Relish.
Cooks' notes:
Ā·Relish can be made 1 day ahead (though color will not be quite as bright) and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Ā·These long, narrow cucumbers are often marketed as "European" and are usually sold in plastic wrap to protect their thin, delicate, unwaxed skin.
