Instructions
- To make this salmon, start by preparing the marinade. Add all of the marinade ingredients (the gochujang, toasted sesame oil, dark brown sugar, rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, garlic, fresh ginger, and sesame seeds) to a large bowl and whisk to fully combine.
- Reserve a 1/4 cup of the marinade in a separate bowl and set it aside.
- Next, prepare the green beans. Wash the green beans, chop the stems off of them, and transfer them to the large bowl with the marinade alongside the salmon. Stir until everything is coated well.
- Allow the salmon and green beans to marinate for 20 minutes,
- While they are marinating, preheat your oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Once the salmon and green beans are done marinating, transfer them to the baking sheet and place the fish skin-side down.
- Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Then, switch the broiler onto high and broil the salmon for about 2 minutes, until it's nice and crispy.
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and brush the reserved marinade over the salmon and green beans.
- Finally, garnish with chopped scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve over Monique's coconut rice and enjoy!
