Combine the cucumber, chile, and mint in a mixing
bowl. Pour in the vinegar, sprinkle with the
sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together
so the cucumbers are well coated in the vinegar,
the cucumbers will soften and the flavors deepen
as it sits.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Season both sides of the salmon with a fair amount
of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the top of the salmon
with the sesame seeds. Place a cast iron or
regular ovenproof skillet on the stove over medium
heat. Coat the pan with the oil and when it is
nice and hot, lay the salmon in the pan, sesame
seed-side down. Sear the salmon for 3 minutes,
then stick it in the oven and roast for 10 minutes
until it's just cooked through. Serve the salmon
on a pile of the chile minted cucumbers.
