1 large peeled, very thinly sliced English cucumber
Toss the cucumber with the salt and put in a colander set over a bowl. Weight the cucumber with an inverted plate topped with a 2 lb. weight and chill for 1 hour.
Rinse the cucumber under cold water and drain. Squeeze small handfuls to extract as much water as possible and toss together with 1/2 tbsp. oil and salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the remaining 1-1/2 tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sear the salmon until golden, about 2 minutes total.
Serve the salmon on a bed of cucumber.
