Servings: 2 servings
Course: Pan fry
Cuisine: Pan fry

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz salmon cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang paste
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon white sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon black sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil for frying
Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang paste
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Kewpie mayo
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Method
 

  1. Prep the Salmon: Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine gochujang paste, maple syrup, and avocado oil.
  3. Coat with Sesame Seeds: On a plate, mix the white and black sesame seeds. Dip each salmon cube into the gochujang mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated. Then, press the cubes into the sesame seed mixture to form a crust. 
  4. Fry the Salmon: Heat 2 tablespoon of avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame-crusted salmon cubes, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
  5. Make the Sauce: While the salmon cooks, whisk together gochujang paste, maple syrup, Kewpie mayo, and rice vinegar to make a smooth sauce.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Serve the crispy salmon over a bed of rice. Drizzle the gochujang sauce over the salmon and rice.
