Get ready to dive into some seriously amazing flavors with this Gochujang Salmon! Enjoy juicy, crispy skin salmon coated in a sweet and spicy Gochujang glaze in less than 30 minutes!
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.
Pat the salmon filets dry and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
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.
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.
Let the fish rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, and serve as desired.
