Sesame-Ginger Glazed Salmon with Avocado-Cucumber SaladSesame-Ginger Glazed Salmon with Avocado-Cucumber Salad — a 35-minute dinner recipe with 12 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 avocados

3 English cucumbers

3 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

1 ½ small bunches green onions (scallions)

1.02 kg salmon fillet

mayonnaise

rice vinegar

salt

sesame seeds

soy sauce

toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Peel and mince the garlic. Peel and mince or grate the ginger.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the minced garlic and ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil.

Place the salmon flesh side down in the marinade and coat both sides; let it sit while you prepare the salad dressing.

In a large bowl, prepare the salad dressing by whisking together the mayo, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt.

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Add the sesame seeds to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

Once sesame seeds have been removed, increase heat to medium-high. Add oil to the skillet and swirl to coat bottom. Place salmon in the skillet skin-side down, reserving marinade in the bowl. Cook until skin is crisp, 3-4 minutes, then flip over and pour the reserved marinade over top. Continue cooking salmon in the marinade until opaque, 3-4 more minutes.

Wash the fresh produce.

Halve the cucumbers crosswise, then quarter lengthwise and slice crosswise on an angle; add to the bowl with dressing. Halve and pit the avocados; scoop out the flesh with a spoon and medium dice; add to the bowl. Trim onion ends and thinly chop on an angle; add to the bowl. Gently toss until well combined.

To serve, place salmon on a plate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve with salad on the side and enjoy!
