For the minted dressing
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup homemade mayo or a great quality comercial one
1 cup unpeeled grated English cucumber (grated on the large holes of a box grater) juices and all
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 cup loosely packed sliced mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For the salmon and salad
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless salmon filets
Olive oil
Salt
6 thin slices of lemon
12 ounces small size pasta (shells, orriecchiette, etc) cooked according to package directions and then rinsed and drained
2 cups diced English cucumbers (1/2 inch dice)
1 fresh lemon, halved (more lemon if needed for each serving)
The dressing
Salt and white pepper to taste

1
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate while preparing everything else.
2
Drizzle a little olive oil on the bottom of a roasting pan large enough to accommodate the fish. Lay the fish in the pan and drizzle a little more oil over, sprinkle with salt and lay the lemon slices over. Roast in a 425F pre heated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. You want the fish just cooked through and not dry. Remove from the oven and cool. Remove the lemon slices and discard.
3
Once the fish has cooled to room temperature, place the pasta in a large mixing bowl and stir in the juice from 1/2 of the lemon. Break the fish into medium size chunks and add it to the bowl. Add the diced cucumber and then gently fold in the dressing stirring to coat everything. Chill for a couple of hours.
4
When ready to serve, taste and season with the salt and white pepper. Serve with a lemon wedge to squeeze over each serving.
