Ingredients

1/4 c. rice vinegar
1 tbsp. finely grated ginger
2 tbsp. honey
Kosher salt and pepper
1 seedless cucumber
1/4 sweet onion (such as Vidalia)
4 radishes
3 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/4 lb. skinless salmon fillet

Instructions

Heat the broiler. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, ginger, 1 Tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Add the cucumber, onion and radishes, and let sit, tossing occasionally, for at least 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and the remaining Tbsp honey.
Line a broilerproof baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon on the baking sheet and season with 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Broil for 5 minutes. Spoon the soy sauce mixture over the salmon and broil until the salmon is opaque throughout, 2 to 5 minutes more. Serve the salmon with any pan drippings and the cucumber salad.
