Ingredients

1/2 cucumber, peeled, halved, lengthwise, seeded, halved lengthwise again, and thinly sliced crosswise

1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/2 yellow or orange bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch julienne3

2 Tablespoons chopped shallot or red onion

1 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (fresh coriander) plus sprigs for garnish

1 Tablespoon lime juice

1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil

1 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon salt

4 salmon fillets, each 5 oz., about 1 inch thick

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Lime wedges for garnish

Directions

In a bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, shallot, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, 1 teaspoon of the canola oil, the honey, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Pour the lime mixture over the cucumber mixture and toss gently to mix and coat evenly. Set aside.

Sprinkle the salmon fillets on both sides with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the remaining ½ teaspoon canola oil over medium-high heat.

Add the fish to the pan and cook, turning once, until opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, 4-5 minutes on each side.

Transfer the salmon fillets to warmed individual plates and top each with one-fourth of the salsa. Garnish the plates with the cilantro sprigs and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

This was delicious, it went great with the planked salmon. I added a touch of hot fresh pepper and used freshly ground red pepper for seasoning.
