Korean Salmon

2 tbs gochujang (korean chili paste)

2 tbs Honey

1 tbs Toasted sesame oil

3 tsp Garlic, minced

Method

Preparation Instructions

Marinate the Salmon

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare Asparagus

While the salmon is marinating, heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the asparagus with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Char the Pineapple

In the same skillet or grill, add the diced pineapple and cook until caramelized and charred, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook the Salmon

Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill or pan-sear it over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

Prepare Pineapple Rice

In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, charred pineapple, and sliced green onions. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Plate the grilled salmon with the asparagus and pineapple rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired.
