1 teaspoon capers, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
Juice of half a lemon
Kosher salt

3 ounces sliced smoked salmon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together the onion, cucumber, capers, cilantro, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
