Instructions
 

For the Ginger Salmon:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Heat over medium heat, bringing it to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the sauce to thicken it. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  • Brush each salmon fillet with grapeseed oil.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Brush the ginger sauce generously over each fillet.
  • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

For the Sesame Cucumbers:

  • In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, grapeseed oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to combine.
  • Let the cucumbers marinate in the refrigerator while the salmon is baking.

To Serve:

  • Serve the ginger salmon hot over a bed of sesame cucumbers.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro if desired.
  • By using grapeseed oil for cooking the salmon and in the cucumber salad, you can enhance the flavor and maintain a healthy profile for this delightful dish. Enjoy your Ginger Salmon with Sesame Cucumbers!
