Gochujang Salmon is a bold, flavorful dish made with salmon fillets marinated in a spicy-sweet Korean gochujang glaze, then baked or broiled to perfection for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
  3. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon or brush the marinade evenly over the top of each fillet.
  4. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature for more flavor.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a caramelized top.
  7. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with steamed rice, quinoa, or sautéed greens.
  • Adjust gochujang amount for more or less heat.
  • This recipe works well with trout or cod too.
