Ingredients

  • 1 fillet – boneless Wild BC Sockeye Salmon

  • 3 tbsp honey

  • 2 tsp Chinese 5 Spice

  • Salt and pepper

  • Garnish – sesame seeds and green onion

For the Cucumber Salad

  • 4 Mini Cucumbers – Thin Sliced

  • ½ small Red Onion

  • 3 cloves of Garlic – Grated

  • 2 Green Onion – Fine Cut

  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar

  • 1 tsp Sugar

  • ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes

  • ½ Black Sesame Seeds

Let’s Begin!

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, mix together the Honey, 5 Spice, Salt and Pepper. Debone your salmon (if needed) and place on baking paper. Cover the Wild BC Salmon with the honey mixture and allow to sit while the oven heats. Bake for 12-15 min, depending on desired doneness.

  2. While the Salmon is baking, mix everything except the cucumber in a bowl and set aside. Using a mandolin or a knife, fine slice the cucumber into roughly 3mm thick pieces. Mix well into your dressing. Set aside and let it come together.

  3. Once Salmon is cooked to your liking, remove from oven and let rest for a moment or two. Serve with cucumber salad and rice!
