Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon peeled minced ginger
- 1 small Thai chili pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/2 English cucumber, sliced into paper thin rounds
- 1-7 oz box Coconut Ginger Rice

- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 4-6 ounce salmon fillets
