Korean BBQ-Inspired Baked Salmon

How to Make Korean BBQ-Inspired Baked Salmon

The Korean BBQ-inspired sauce on this salmon has that ideal balance of sweet, salty, tangy, and spicy. The sweetness comes naturally from fruit, not added sugars. You could also use this sauce on chicken: bake boneless, skinless chicken thighs without the sauce for 15 minutes, then brush on the sauce and bake for another 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, jam, tamari, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce. Lightly spread the mixture onto the top of each fillet using the back of the spoon. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
  4. Bake until the salmon is flaky and cooked through (with an internal temperature of at least 145° F), about 16 minutes. Serve.
