Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 - 6 oz salmon filets, skin removed
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoons chinese or dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- kosher salt and ground white pepper
- black and white sesame seeds
- 2-3 scallions, thinly sliced
- steamed rice, for serving
- lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the salmon. Pat the salmon filets dry and lay them on a baking sheet with a little space between each filet. Season them with a sprinkle of salt and white pepper.
- Make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and mustard until smooth.
- Glaze & bake the salmon. Drizzle the sauce evenly over the salmon pieces and use a brush to evenly coat the salmon. Transfer to the oven for 10-12 minutes, then broil for 1-2 minutes. The salmon should flake easily.
- Finish the salmon. Sprinkle the salmon filets with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions as they come out of the oven and serve them over steamed rice with a squeeze of lime.
