Person(s)
  • 1½ pound
    Salmon fillet
  • 3 tbsp
    Gochujang paste
  • 2 tbsp
    Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp
    Honey
  • 1 tbsp
    Rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp
    Sesame oil
  • 2
    Cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp
    Fresh ginger
  • 4 cup
    Cooked white rice or jasmine rice
  • 1 large
    Cucumber
  • 2
    Green onions
  • 1 tbsp
    Sesame seeds
  • 1
    Avocado
Directions
  • Prepare the Gochujang Glaze

    Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth. Reserve a small amount of the sauce for serving, then use the remaining glaze to coat the salmon fillets evenly.

  • Bake the Salmon

    Place the glazed salmon pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. For extra caramelization, brush the salmon with additional glaze during the last few minutes of baking.

  • Assemble the Rice Bowls

    Divide the cooked rice evenly between four serving bowls. Add sliced cucumber, green onions, and any optional toppings such as avocado or fresh herbs. Place one glazed salmon portion on top of each bowl.

  • Finish and Serve

    Drizzle the reserved gochujang sauce over the salmon bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and extra green onions before serving. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
