Salmon and Cucumber on Rye

Slice the cucumber as thinly as possible. Lay the sliced cucumbers in a single layer on paper towels and blot dry with additional paper towels. Sprinkle to taste with white pepper.

Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place a layer of cucumbers over the buttered side of 4 slices of bread. Top with a layer of sliced salmon, followed by another layer of cucumbers. Top with each sandwich with remaining bread slice, butter side down. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally.
