Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, miso paste, olive oil, garlic, and lime juice to create the marinade. Marinate the salmon for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Wash and slice the cucumber. Combine with green onions, cilantro, coconut milk, lime juice, and salt in a bowl and mix gently.
  3. Preheat the broiler to high and position the rack 6 inches from the heat source.
  4. Place the marinated salmon skin-side down in a broiler pan. Broil for 8-10 minutes until slightly blackened and the fish flakes easily.
  5. Brush the cooked salmon with reserved marinade and serve over cooked rice with cucumber salad.
