This elegant yet easy salmon dish — perfect for family or friends — tastes great with a bowl of steamed scrubbed red baby potatoes. A ginger rub brings out the delicious flavor of the salmon. The broiler makes a quick and easy cooking method for weeknight suppers. The simple relish of cucumber, mint, rice wine vinegar and ginger can be made ahead and makes a flavorful topping for the salmon.
