Gochujang Salmon Bowl

Ingredients




















Method


  • 1Prepare Salmon: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pat salmon fillets dry and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush generously with the gochujang glaze.


  • 2Cook Rice: Rinse rice thoroughly until water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions (typically 1 part rice to 2 parts water) in a saucepan or rice cooker. Once cooked, keep covered to steam.


  • 3Roast Salmon: Bake the glazed salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.


  • 4Make Avocado Dressing: While salmon cooks, combine avocado, lime juice, Greek yogurt, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to reach desired consistency.


  • 5Prepare Vegetables: Arrange sliced cucumber, radishes, and thawed edamame into separate piles, ready for bowl assembly.


  • 6Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top each with a roasted salmon fillet. Arrange the prepared vegetables around the salmon. Drizzle generously with the creamy avocado dressing.


  • 7Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle each bowl with thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. A dash of extra sesame oil can be added if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes


  • Substitute avocado dressing for simple sriracha mayo or a sprinkle of extra sesame oil and soy sauce for convenience.

  • Other great additions for textural contrast include kimchi, quick-pickled carrots, or a fried egg on top.

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute salmon with pan-fried tofu or tempeh, increasing marinade time to 30 minutes.
