Ingredients
- 1 lb Salmon filets
- 1-2 tbsp Gochujang adjust for spice preference
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Optional: 1 tsp honey or a sugar substitute like Swerve
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, mix Gochujang, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, and honey (if using).
- Coat Salmon: Place the salmon filets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the glaze generously over the top.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your filets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Optional Broil: For extra caramelization, broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
