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

Instructions

  • 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.
