Prepare the salmon by placing it in a shallow dish.

Slice the cucumber into thin slices, keeping the skin on for presentation.

Soften 3 tablespoons of butter in a bowl.

Mix the softened butter with mustard and the juice of half a lemon until it resembles a thick sauce.

Layer the cucumber slices over the salmon in the dish, overlapping them for a decorative effect.

Cover the dish with foil to prevent the fish from drying out.

Spread the remaining butter, mustard, and lemon mixture over the cucumber layers.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the dish for 20 minutes, ensuring the fish is cooked through.

Let the fish rest at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
