Instructions

1. Rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear, then cook it with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt; bring to a simmer, cover, cook 15 minutes, then rest off heat 10 minutes while you grill.
2. Heat a grill to medium-high and oil the grates well. Shuck the corn, pat the salmon dry, and cut the salmon into 2 portions if it is one long fillet.
3. Mix soy sauce, 2 teaspoons rice vinegar, honey or brown sugar, grated ginger, grated garlic, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon neutral oil to make a glossy glaze; spoon 1 tablespoon into a separate small bowl for finishing so it never touches raw fish.
4. Toss the sliced cucumbers with the remaining 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, a small pinch of salt, and sesame seeds if using; set aside to lightly pickle.
5. Brush the corn lightly with glaze and grill, turning often, until charred in spots and tender, about 8–10 minutes; move it to a cooler part of the grill if it darkens too quickly.
6. Brush the salmon with glaze and grill skin-side down for 4–5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook 1–3 minutes more, just until it flakes and reaches 125–130°F for medium or 145°F for fully cooked.
7. Plate the rice, grilled corn, salmon, and cucumber salad; drizzle the reserved clean glaze over the salmon and serve with lemon wedges.
