Here’s another salmon recipe to add to your rotation — Sheet Pan Gochujang Glazed Salmon! The glaze on this salmon has the perfect balance of sweetness with a little hint of spice that I know you will just love. Plus, you can enjoy this sheet pan meal as-is or serve it as a bowl with a grain, kimchi, and any other toppings you desire.
Salmon is on our dinner table almost weekly. However, I am always trying to think of new ways to flavor it. Gochujang has become a staple in my pantry and I love the amount of flavor it can add to simple dishes and it really makes this salmon taste beyond delicious. And since gochujang typically comes in a big container, be sure to use the leftover gochujang for these Gochujang Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
glaze ingredients:
- Gochujang Paste
- Maple Syrup
- Rice Vinegar
- Sesame Oil
- Coconut Aminos
Additionally, I love how perfectly cooked the salmon is when baked in the oven. It’s an easy, no-fuss method that always works perfectly. Plus, I love roasting the broccolini on the same sheet pan to simplify things. Less dishes = a win!
step one: make the glaze
After preheating your oven, you’ll start by whisking all of your glaze ingredients.
step two: prepare the sheet pan
Next, add the broccolini and salmon the sheet pan and season both according to the recipe below! Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the broccolini is tender.
step three: serve and enjoy!
While you can enjoy this sheet pan as is, I also like to serve it in bowls with steamed rice and kimchi. So delicious!
recipe FAQs:
It can be! 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.
You can enjoy the sheet pan as-is or you can serve in bowls with prepared rice or cauliflower rice and kimchi!
I hope you enjoy this Sheet Pan Gochujang Glazed Salmon as much as I do! Let me know in the comments once you make it!

Super easy recipe. Love a good sheet pan recipe for an easy weeknight meal. I served with steamed rice from Trader Joe’s. Thanks Alex for a delicious recipe!
I make this a couple times a month- it’s one of our favorite recipes! Super easy on a week night, and so flavorful. I don’t like broccolini so I sub Brussels sprouts, and don’t have to change the cooking time. Thanks so much!!
Love to hear that!! Thanks for sharing, Christine.
Can I substitute Gochujang for Siracha?
This was delicious and came together quickly for an easy weeknight dinner. Will definitely be making again!!! We are salt sensitive here so I will skip the salt on the salmon next time. Just a personal preference!
The sauce is drinkable – loved this and will absolutely make again!
loved this recipe! super easy for a weeknight dinner but full of flavor. followed the cook times and proportions exactly and it came out great. the oven does most of the work!
This is so freaking good and so easy to throw together. I used regular broccoli, and it came out crisp but cooked. The sauce is amazing. I’m excited to try using it on other things.
