Salmon Bulgogi

Recently, I made and shared a recipe for bulgogi. That version used rib eye as the main protein. My family loved that bulgogi dish so much that I decided to make another one using our favorite fish: salmon. Bulgogi is a Korean-style dish which is normally grilled. In this recipe, the salmon is marinated in a bulgogi sauce and then baked.

How to make Salmon Bulgogi 

The salmon bulgogi marinade consists of the following ingredients:

• Soy sauce
• Mirin
• Sesame Oil
• Lemon Juice
• Sugar
• Honey
• Garlic
• Ginger

This delicious and healthy dish is easy to prepare. It is a perfect dish to make for dinner after a busy day at work. The trick is to marinate the salmon fillets for at least one hour, or even longer so that the salmon can absorb the flavors. Once the fillets are marinated, the salmon is drained and the marinade is discarded. Then, the salmon is baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. The fish turned out sweet, moist and very tender. I served this fish bulgogi with rice, greens and a side of kimchi.  This healthy and delicious dish is definitely a keeper!
