Method

5 steps · 10 minutes

Peel the membrane off the roe and discard it. Left on, it shreds into tough threads that no amount of blending fixes.
Blend the roe with the lemon juice to a smooth paste.
Add the oil in a thin stream with the motor running, exactly as for mayonnaise. Poured in at once it splits and stays split.
Taste before adding anything. Smoked roe is intensely salty and almost never needs more.
Loosen with a spoonful of cold water if it is stiffer than you want, and serve with the cucumber cut into batons.
