Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the glaze.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Brush about half of the Gochujang glaze evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining glaze over the salmon.
  7. Remove from the oven. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • To adjust the spice level, reduce the amount of Gochujang or add a little extra honey.
  • If you prefer pan-searing, cook the salmon skin-side down in the vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, then flip, brush with glaze, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, basting frequently.
  • This glaze also works well with cod or halibut.
