Leave to stand for 20 minutes then pour off any water that has gathered in the bowl. Place the cucumber between several sheets of kitchen paper to remove the excess moisture. Spread the bread lightly with butter, divide the cucumber over 4 slices and season with pepper then top with the remaining bread. Cut off the crusts and cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.

    3. Spread 4 slices of the bread with the smoked salmon mixture then top with the remaining smoked salmon slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread then cut off the crusts and cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.
