Broiled Hot Honey Salmon with Cucumber Salad

Instructions

1. Rinse rice and cook with 1 1/2 cups water: bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and cook 15 minutes until tender. Keep warm.
2. Whisk honey, hot sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, garlic powder, and cayenne. Reserve 1/4 cup for serving. Combine cornstarch with 1 tsp water, stir into remaining glaze, and microwave until thickened, about 1 1/2 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.
3. Adjust oven rack 6 inches from broiler and heat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil, pat salmon dry, season with 1/2 tsp salt, and brush with glaze.
4. Broil salmon 10-12 minutes, brushing with glaze and rotating halfway, until medium-rare (125F).
5. Whisk vinegar and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Toss with cucumber, cilantro, and shallot. Serve salmon over rice with cucumber salad and reserved sauce.
