Gochujang-Glazed Salmon
This Korean-inspired Gochujang-Glazed Salmon is SO good!! The glaze is so tasty it would be great with other types of fish as well! Have I mentioned I’m obsessed with Korean food? Yes, I think I did way back when I posted these Korean Beef Bowls and this Korean-Inspired Grilled Chicken Breast recipe.  So I was really excited when I got my hands on the cookbook, Korean Food Made Simple (affil link) by Judy Joo which is where I got this recipe.
Salmon is one of my favorite fish, it’s super healthy and loaded with omegas. My kids also share my love of salmon, but if salmon isn’t your thing this would also be great with black cod or Chilean sea bass.
One essential ingredient you will need is Gochujang Sauce (affil links). It’s a Korean condiment that’s a little spicy and sweet, and has very distinct flavor only found in Korean cuisine. It also comes in a paste which requires you to thin it down. I use Annie Chun’s Gochujang Sauce since it’s available in my local supermarket and it’s ready-to-use, or buy it on Amazon.
The recipe for this is simple – make the glaze, broil the fish 2 minutes, brush the fish with glaze then broil an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Doesn’t get easier than that!

Hello! Great, great recipes! I tried your airfryer salmon with maple and it was AMAZING! Can I try this in the airfryer? What other fish do you think would work well in the airfryer?
Delicious! My new go to way to make salmon!
This was absolutely delicious! I made it in the air fryer.Â
I had purchased the gochuchang recently for the Korean beef bowls  and was looking for other recipes that used it, this one was perfect!
Has anyone made this in the air fryer?
Should be fine! 400 8 min.
Could it be done in the air fryer. Not sure of the glaze would end up like the broiler
Can I cook this on a pan? My oven isn’t working. Thank you.
ANOTHER HOME RUN hit out of the park! Thank you for giving the link on where to purchase the gochujang … otherwise I would never have been able to make this. I usually don’t “sauce up” salmon, but WOW WOW WOW!
So simple yet so delicious! Loved it! Had never heard of mirin before, but my Wal-Mart had it. I saw some people post it was too sweet, but it wasn’t at all to me. I like a sweet, spicy salmon.  My broiler doesn’t work, so I baked at 400 for 30 minutes and it was perfect.
