1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried dillweed
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
3 cups of thinly sliced cucumbers

Place salmon in microwaveable dish; sprinkle with chives, salt and pepper. Cut lemon in half lengthwise; cut crosswise into paper-thin slices and arrange over salmon. Cover and microwave at High until fish flakes easily when tested, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with cucumber salad.
Additional Info:
To cook salmon on stove top, bring 1/2 cup (125 mL) water to boil in large skillet. Add salmon, chives, salt, pepper and lemon. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until fish flakes easily when tested, about 10 minutes.
