Preparation

Mix all marinade ingredients and marinate salmon 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C).

Remove salmon from marinade and pour into a small saucepan. Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook in the oven for 12–15 minutes or until desired doneness.

Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Add honey and reserve.

Place a slice of Le Noble cheese on each plate, lay hot salmon over cheese and garnish with shoots and cilantro.
