Want to impress your friends? This deceivingly easy recipe is great for a weeknight dinner.
The marinade is the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. Gojuchang is one of my favorite ingredients, it is a red chili paste that adds a bit of heat and sweet to any dish. You can purchase a container on amazon or find it in an Asian grocery store. If you do not have Gojuchang on hand, you can substitute Sriracha.
You can also control the heat of the dish by adding more brown sugar or less red pepper flakes. I like things spicy so I add a lot! Keep in mind the spice will balance out more when you cook.
If you do not have hot honey on hand, regular honey will work just as well. If you have not tried it, I highly recommend Mike's Hot Honey! It is a kitchen staple in my house.
I used frozen salmon filet, you can find them in any grocery store and they are much less expensive than buying fresh. Just make sure you completely thaw the filets before putting them in the marinade.
In all of my recipes, the salt & pepper amounts are up to you and your pallet. One tip I always have is not to be shy with seasoning. Salt and pepper gives every component of the dish flavor!
Taste as you go, the fun part about cooking is experimenting and finding what you like. Recipe's can always be adjusted to your taste.
Bourbon Gochujang Glazed Salmon
Active Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 1.5 Hours
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Yields 2 Servings
Ingredients:
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
3 Cloves Whole Peeled Garlic
Juice of 1 Lime
4 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Gojuchang
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Ground Ginger
2 tsp Hot Honey
3 tbsp Bourbon
1 tsp Red Pepper Flake (for extra spice)
2 Salmon Filets (5-6oz each)
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Directions:
Mix all of the ingredients except salmon in a gallon bag leaving the garlic cloves whole. Shake the bag to mix everything together and add salmon filets. Seal bag and release all of the air. It is important to get as much air out as possible. This will allow the marinade to really soak into the fish. Place in refrigerator for a minimum of an hour and a half.
Preheat a skillet on medium high until hot. Remove salmon from marinade and place in hot pan. Dump extra marinade on top of salmon and cook for 4 minutes. Flip salmon and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove salmon from the pan and let the sauce cook down for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
Serve salmon with glaze drizzled over the top and enjoy!
