A recipe for salmon fillets coated in a sticky, sweet, and spicy glaze made with gochujang and honey.

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 sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar until smooth. This is your glaze.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush about half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the fillets.
  7. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized and sticky. Cooking time depends on fillet thickness.
  8. Remove from the oven. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze, you can simmer the glaze mixture on the stovetop for 2 minutes before brushing it on, but reserve some uncooked glaze for the final coat.
  • If you prefer a less intense spice level, reduce the gochujang to 1.5 tablespoons and increase the honey slightly.
  • Serve this salmon with steamed white rice and blanched broccoli or asparagus.
