Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, cut into bite-size chunks
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder or cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to spice preference)
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups broccoli florets or chopped asparagus
  • Avocado wedges, for serving
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Chili Honey Garlic Sauce:
  • ⅓ cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 34 tablespoons chili paste (gochujang recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • Spicy Creamy Sauce:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 12 tablespoons gochujang
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease a large sheet pan with olive oil.
  2. On one side of the pan, toss salmon chunks with ground ginger, chipotle or cayenne, chili flakes, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  3. On the other side of the pan, toss broccoli or asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Roast in the oven for 10–15 minutes, until salmon is nearly cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the honey garlic sauce: whisk together tamari, honey, garlic, ginger, chili paste, green onions, and sesame oil in a bowl.
  6. Make the spicy creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, gochujang, and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Remove vegetables from the pan, pour the honey garlic sauce over the salmon, toss gently, and return to the oven for another 5 minutes to caramelize.
  8. Serve salmon and vegetables over rice or coconut rice. Top with avocado wedges, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of spicy creamy sauce.

Notes

  • Adjust chili paste and flakes to control heat level.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Salmon can be cooked in an air fryer or stovetop if desired.
  • Both sauces can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for variety.
