Ingredients

Salmon

2 lbs salmon filets
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil

Gochujang Sauce

2 cloves garlic finely minced
2 tablespoon gochujang
1 teaspoon gochugaru
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 ½ tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Serve

Steamed rice
2 stalks green onion chopped

Instructions

Season the salmon. Rinse the salmon, pat to dry, and remove the scales as needed. Then season the salmon on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Mix gochujang glaze. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey and sesame oil. Mix to combine and set aside.
Cook the salmon. On a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat until hot. Place the salmon skin side down and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the salmon begins to become opaque about 2/3 up. Then flip the salmon and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Then remove and set aside.
Cook the sauce. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the gochujang sauce mixture and stir occasionally until it reaches a simmer. Then add the butter and mix to combine. Once it has thickened, remove from the heat and pour the sauce evenly onto the salmon.
Serve. Garnish the salmon with green onion, and serve with white rice and enjoy!
