Estonian Cod Salad with Horseradish Sauce

== Description ==
__NOTOC__
This zesty fish salad makes a lovely luncheon entree. You can also try making it with Haddock or Halibut. Both the Slavs and the Balts have a weakness for poached fish dressed in a creamy horseradish sauce
== Ingredients ==
* 2 pounds cod fillets (cut into 2-inch pieces)
* salt (according to taste)
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* ¼ cup prepared horseradish
* ¾ cup sour cream
* ⅓ cup mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann's
* pinch of sugar
* ¼ cup very finely chopped onion
* 2 medium-size Kirby cucumbers (peeled and cut into small dice)
* 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
* freshly ground black pepper, to taste
* 1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated, rinsed, and patted dry
== Directions ==
# Place the cod fillets in a shallow enameled pan, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat.
# Add ½ teaspoon salt, reduce the heat to low, and simmer the fish until it just begins to flake, 3 to 4 minutes.
# Drain the fish thoroughly and place it in a large bowl.
# Sprinkle lemon juice on it.
# In a small bowl, combine the horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, onion, cucumbers, and dill.
# Mix thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
# Toss the fish gently but thoroughly with this mixture, cover, and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
=== Serving ===
# Arrange on a bottom layer of lettuce in a serving dish and serve fish salad over it.
