3. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in cucumber liquid mixture; set sauce aside.

5. Bake at 450u0b0 for 10 to 12 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.
6. Divide cucumber slices among 4 shallow bowls. Spoon cucumber sauce onto cucumbers and top with salmon fillets; add fresh mint sprig to each bowl, if desired. Serve with Ginger Vinaigrette.
