How do you make Baked Gochujang Miso Salmon?
- Combine the honey, gochujang, miso (or doenjang), Kewpie Mayonnaise (or regular mayo and apple cider vinegar). Reserve a little more than half of the marinade mixture and set aside to make serving sauce.
- Arrange the filets on a parchment-lined sheet tray and season with salt. Spread the marinade over the salmon, making sure to get the sides if you’re using thicker filets. Allow salmon to marinate.
- As the salmon marinates, make the sauce by adding lime juice and zest to the reserved marinade. Taste and add additional honey or salt if needed.
- Bake the salmon!
How do you serve Gochujang Miso Salmon
- Serve with rice noodles, or greens, grilled and fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and fresh lime wedges! You can also serve with favorite grains.
- We also love to flake apart this salmon and make it into a simple salad with crunchy romaine, bell pepper, cucumber, feta cheese, fresh mint, and toasted sesame seeds.
- Drizzle with toasted sesame dressing.
Get creative–the possibilities are endless!
Tips and substitutions:
- Depending on the thickness of the filets, the salmon will cook at for? different times.
- If you’re using frozen salmon filets, make sure to get as much moisture out of them as possible before marinating. Let them sit on a few paper towels, flesh side down, to absorb as much moisture as possible for a few minutes before spreading on marinade.
- If you don’t have Kewpie Mayonnaise, simply use regular mayo and add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to get something similar in flavor.
- Looking to try a new Korean condiment? Try using doenjang paste instead of miso. It has a similar flavor profile, but is different in color and ingredients, and adds a different, deeper, less sweet flavor to the marinade.
How do you serve salmon bowls?
Serve salmon with white rice, grilled veggies (eggplant, zucchini, broccoli would all be delicious!), fresh cucumber, mango, and herbs to garnish. Drizzle with the sweet and savory sauce and enjoy warm.
