Smoked Salmon in Cucumber Cups

2 medium-size cucumbers, about 1-inch diameter
6-ounces smoked salmon
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon lime zest
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

Peel cucumbers; cut into 3/4-inch slices. Using tiny spoon, form cucumber cups by scooping out seeds, leaving some flesh in base of cup; set aside.

In medium-size bowl, flake smoked salmon, discarding skin and any bone. Blend in sour cream, cilantro, lime zest,  lime juice, salt, and cayenne pepper to taste.

Mound salmon into cucumber cups; sprinkle lightly with a few grains cayenne pepper. Garnish with additional lime peel strips, if desired.

Makes about 24 cucumber cups.
