Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • small saucepan
  • whisk
  • Small bowl

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 1 lb salmon, cubed
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables and Serving

  • 2 pcs Persian cucumbers, sliced
  • 1 pc avocado, sliced
  • 1 pc peach, sliced
  • steamed rice to serve
  • green onions to serve
  • spicy mayo recipe in notes
  • sesame seeds to serve

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Reserve half of the marinade and toss the rest with the salmon cubes. Let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight in the fridge.
  • In a small bowl, toss the cucumber, avocado, and peaches with 2 tablespoons of the reserved marinade.
  • Remove the salmon from the marinade and set on the baking sheet. Discard marinade. Bake 12-15 minutes until tender to your liking. If desired, switch on the broiler to high for the last 2-3 minutes. Watch closely.
  • While the salmon roasts, pour the reserved marinade into a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until reduced by about ⅓, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Divide the salmon and cucumber salad among bowls over piles of rice. Drizzle with the sesame reduction and spicy mayo, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, as desired.

Notes

Spicy mayo: Combine ½ cup mayonnaise, 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha (to your taste), 1 teaspoon honey, and ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika. Adjust seasonings as necessary.
