  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups broccoli florets asparagus, or a combination

For the Chili Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 6 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 –4 tablespoons chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

For the Spicy Creamy Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 –2 tablespoons gochujang

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a large sheet pan with olive oil.
  • Place the salmon chunks on one side of the sheet pan.
  • Season the salmon with ground ginger, chipotle powder, chili flakes, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Add the broccoli or asparagus to the other side of the sheet pan.
  • Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the salmon is nearly cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • While the salmon bakes, prepare the chili honey garlic sauce by whisking together tamari, honey, garlic, ginger, chili paste, green onions, and sesame oil.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, gochujang, and honey until smooth to create the spicy creamy sauce.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and transfer the vegetables to a serving platter.
  • Pour the chili honey garlic sauce over the salmon and gently toss to coat.
  • Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce caramelizes slightly.
  • Assemble the Chili Honey Garlic Salmon Bowls by dividing the salmon and vegetables among serving bowls.
  • Top with avocado wedges, sesame seeds, green onions, and a drizzle of spicy creamy sauce.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tamari can be used instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Gochujang provides a balanced spicy-sweet flavor to the creamy sauce.
  • Broccoli and asparagus both work beautifully in this recipe.
  • Leftover salmon is delicious served cold over salads.
