Ingredients
- for the glaze:
- 2 tablespoons gochujang paste (see note re: gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- for the sheet pan:
- 12 ounces broccolini trimmed (about 2 bunches)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Four [6-ounce] center-cut salmon filets pin bones removed
- 2 green onions thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- optional, for serving:
- Prepared rice (sub cauliflower for Paleo and grain-free)
- Kimchi
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
make the glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
prepare the sheet pan:
Place the broccolini on the sheet pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons avocado oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Toss until well coated and push to the edges of the sheet pan to make room for the salmon.
Place the salmon filets in the center of the sheet pan and sprinkle the tops with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the glaze over each of the salmon filets and brush until evenly coating the tops of the salmon filets. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining gochujang sauce. Sprinkle with the white and black sesame seeds and the sliced green onions.
Return to the oven and continue to bake until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven.
serve:
Serve the salmon and broccolini with rice and kimchi, if desired.
Notes
Gluten-Free Note: Gochujang is often made with a small bit of wheat to help the paste firm up, making it a little difficult to find a gluten-free option, but the Coconut Secret brand, which is made with coconut aminos, can be found online and at various grocers.
I substituted Furikake for the black and white sesame seeds, and if you have some I suggest you do the same - it's a nice easy little plus up.
