Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Paleo mayonnaise
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • ½ pound cooked salmon
  • 1 tablespoon shallots minced
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt 
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 English cucumber peeled and cut crosswise into ¾-inch thick slices
  • 4 cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1 bunch chive sprigs optional garnish

Instructions

  • Combine the mayo, smoked paprika, and Tabasco in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Taste for seasoning and add more Tabasco if you like things spicy.
  • Grab the cooked salmon and flake it into large bite-sized pieces.
  • Place the salmon, diced shallots, chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl and gently mix in the spicy mayonnaise.
  • Grab the cucumber slices and use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop out the center of each cucumber slice. Don’t dig too deeply or your cups will become open-ended tubes and the salmon filling will fall right through.
  • Divide the salmon mixture into each cup and top each one with a cherry tomato slice and a couple of chive tops.
