Description
A quick and flavorful weeknight dinner featuring salmon fillets coated in a sweet, spicy, and savory gochujang honey glaze, ready in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Preheat oven to broil on high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until thick and glossy.
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush a generous layer of the glaze over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is bubbly and slightly charred.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Do not overcook the salmon; it continues to cook after removal from the oven. Watch the broiler closely as the honey can burn quickly. For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Leftover glaze can be brushed on vegetables before roasting.
