Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.
Lightly coat the salmon in some olive oil, and then gently sprinkle on a bit of garlic powder and salt & pepper. Bake until it's cooked through (check after 8-10 minutes for a thinner piece of salmon)... a good rule of thumb is about 5 minutes baking time per half inch of thickness.
Meanwhile, combine all the cucumber salsa ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until needed.
Once the fish is done, serve it with the cucumber salsa on the side. This dish is also very tasty when the salmon is cooked then chilled for a few hours.
