Ingredients
  

  • 1-1.5 lb Salmon

  • 1.5 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 lime zest and juice
  • 1-2 cucumbers sliced
  • 2 scallions sliced
  • 2-3 cups cooked rice, warmed (leftover, microwave rice, or frozen cooked rice)

  1. Heat broiler. Line a sheet pan.
  2. Mix gochujang, honey, soy, and lime zest/juice.

Notes

  • To keep this under 20 minutes, use leftover, microwave, or frozen cooked rice. If starting from uncooked rice, begin it first.
  • Add a quick drizzle: mayo (or Greek yogurt) + lime + pinch of salt.
Serve alongside: edamame, snap peas, or a bagged slaw with sesame dressing.
Wine: Brut Cava or dry Riesling (trocken)
