I recommend this cucumber 'spaghetti' as an accompaniment to marinated trout. Since the trout is salty, be sure not to add salt to this recipe. You can also serve this as a side salad with any marinated or smoked fish.

Preparation

1. Cut the cucumbers in half; remove the seeds; leave the peel on;
2. shred into thin 'spaghetti' using a food processor or a mandoline;
3. prepare the vinaigrette: place the mustards in a bowl; mix in the maple syrup and gradually whisk in the olive oil; add the dill and shallot;
4. add the cucumber to the dressing at the last minute so it stays crisp; combine well so that the cucumber strands are well coated with the dressing;
5. divide among four plates, forming a nest in the centre;
6. place the marinated trout on top;
7. drizzle a little dressing over the trout and serve.
