Gochujang Salmon

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

In a bowl, add the gochujang, garlic, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Whisk well and set the bowl aside.

Step 3

Pat the salmon filets dry and season with a bit of salt and pepper.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet set over high heat. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the hot pan and sear for 3 minutes to brown the skin. While it’s searing, brush the flesh with the gochujang glaze.

Step 5

Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the fish is just cooked through to your desired doneness, 8-10 minutes. Aim for an internal temperature of 125-135 degrees F, as the temperature will continue to rise a bit even after pulling the skillet from the heat.

Step 6

Let the fish rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, and serve as desired.
