Gochujang Glazed Salmon

Not everyone in my family likes salmon so I was looking for a way to make salmon taste less fishy.  The solution was a marinate followed by a flavorful glaze.  I served with sautéed baby bok choy and basmati rice.  I like to wrap the salmon with some rice in some nori snack sheets to eat this.

Ingredients:

For the Marinade

2 tbsps olive oil

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp ginger powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Glaze

1 tbsp gochujang

2 tbsps honey
1 tbsp soy sauce

2-4 salmon fillets

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions

Optional nori snack sheets for serving

Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade in a sealable bag and add the salmon fillets. Marinade for 30 minutes. Preheat your broiler on high.  Cover a wire rack with aluminum foil and then add the salmon fillets and all of the extra marinade on top. You may want to place the rack in a baking sheet to prevent the marinade running off. Broil the fish for 7-9 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. If the skin is on, you can flip the fish half way through to get a crisp on the skin.  

When the fish is cooked to your liking, pour the glaze over the fish and place back under the broiler for 1 minute. To serve, sprinkle with toasted sesame and scallions and serve.
