Equipment

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 in half
12 ounces broccolini
2 teaspoons salt divided in half
1 teaspoon pepper divided in half
4 (6 to 8 ounces) salmon fillets

To Serve

Green onions
Toasted sesame seeds
Cooked rice

Instructions

Heat oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and mirin until smooth. Set aside.
Toss the broccolini with 1½ tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper then place the broccolini on the sides of the sheet pan, leaving the center empty for the salmon fillets.
Place salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Coat with the rest of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes on the middle rack of the oven.
Remove the sheet pan and brush the salmon with the gochujang mixture and give the broccolini a stir or flip. Broil for another 3 to 5 minutes on the middle rack until cooked through. Keep a careful eye on the salmon and broccolini to make sure they don’t burn.
Let the salmon rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, and serve with rice if desired.
