Tidally Locked

I wanted to try my hand at a tidally locked planet. It orbits a dim red star near the outer edge of it's habitable zone. It's a super-earth, three times the mass of Earth, and one side of it's surface always faces it's star. The star-side is a massive, kilometers deep ocean while the opposite side is frozen. Despite the massive amounts of water this planet harbors no life--not even microbes--due to the floor of the ocean being locked in a deep layer of "hot ice," a kind of ice formed from the pressure at that depth.
