Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 12 ounces broccolini
- 2 teaspoons salt (divided)
- 1 teaspoon pepper (divided)
- 4 (6 to 8 ounces) salmon fillets
- Green onions
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Cooked rice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and mirin until smooth. Set aside.
- Toss broccolini with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Arrange on the sides of the sheet pan, leaving space in the center.
- Place salmon fillets in the center, skin side down. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and season with remaining salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, brush salmon with the gochujang mixture, and toss the broccolini. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes until salmon is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Let salmon rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve with cooked rice if desired.
Notes
- Adjust spice level by reducing or increasing gochujang.
- Maple syrup can be used as a substitute for honey for a slightly different sweetness.
- Watch closely during broiling to prevent burning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
