This is a recipe from Emeril. Good shit.
Cold Cucumber Soup with Smoked Salmon:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or more to taste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 large cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chopped (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions (green and white parts)
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
4 cups Chicken Stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 pound smoked salmon, finely chopped
Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, salt, and white pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cucumbers, green onions, and dill. Cook until the cucumbers are starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
Pur?e the soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a food processor or blender. Transfer the soup to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
Stir the parsley and yogurt into the soup. Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours, or overnight, to chill thoroughly.
To serve, season the chilled soup to taste with additional salt and white pepper if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a spoonful of chopped smoked salmon.

Thanks - sounds D-lish.
Do you have a poached salmon with cucumber dill sauce? I have fond memories of that dish from my childhood.

I thought of you when I posted this. Figured you'd have some smoked fish left
And yes I do have the recipe you request. Actually made it last month.
Poached Salmon with Cucumber-Dill Sauce:
Salmon:
2 cups Chablis or other dry white wine
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon chicken-flavored bouillon granules
6 peppercorns
4 sprigs fresh dillweed
2 bay leaves
1 rib celery, chopped
1 small lemon, sliced
6 (4 ounce) fillets salmon, 1/2 inch thick
Cucumber-Dill Sauce:
1/3 cup peeled, seeded, and finely chopped cucumber
1/3 cup fat-free sour cream
1/3 cup fat-free plain yogurt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dillweed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Fresh dillweed sprigs (optional)
To make the salmon: Combine the wine, water, bouillon, peppercorns, dillweed, bay leaves, celery, and lemon in a skillet. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the salmon to the mixture in the skillet and cook for 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
Transfer the salmon to a platter, using a slotted spoon. Cover, and chill thoroughly. Discard the liquid mixture remaining in the skillet.
To make the cucumber-dill sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the cucumber, sour cream, yogurt, dillweed, and mustard.
To serve, place the fillets on individual serving plates. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fillets. Garnish with fresh dillweed sprigs, if using.
