Herb and Buttermilk Marinated Salmon with Cucumber Salad

The first thing that has to be said about this dish is that this is the absolute go-to buttermilk dressing recipe. Oh my god, who knew dried ginger would bring the awesome so much? The only think I'd do differently is maybe add a little mayo or plain yogurt to make it a little thicker, …
