Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen This zingy side dish—with cucumber, radishes and sweet onion tossed in a ginger-honey vinaigrette—is just as delicious served alongside steak, pork or chicken as it is with glazed salmon.

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

  1. 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.

  3. 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.
