Gochujang Broiled Salmon Bowl | Carla's Cooking Show

Buying salmon can be overwhelming-farmed vs. organic. Frozen vs. fresh. Wild sounds great, but which one? Coho, Alaskan, Scottish, King, Alaskan, Steelhead… My advice, and the rule I follow when I shop, is to ask the person working the fish counter. I think a fattier type works best in this preparation, but tell them you don’t want something too buttery because it needs to stand up to the spicy-sweet-charred marinade. If you haven’t purchased gochujang before, it has become pretty easy to source in mainstream markets. You can definitely find it at an Asian market or order it online. A little goes a long way, it lasts forever, and you’ll find plenty of other places to use it.

“Ask your fish person” Cut to me and the teenager working the supermarket meat counter staring at each other in mutual confusion 🤣

[@thestellarelite]

Hahaha I so felt this!! I"m so happy I moved to a new hood with butcher and fish monger few blocks away. I always feel like such a fussy old lady when I go to the grocery store and try and get meat/fish 😂

[@katenicholson901]

I was like "I have frozen salmon from Costco...."

[@LeahFrankieHenson]

@@katenicholson901 I'm using my frozen Costco salmon to make this tonight. Girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

[@kayoungc]

As a Korean, I loved how she made the perfect bite with the toasted seaweed and ate the 쌈 ssam (wrap) in one bite, as we do.

[@_emilyahn]

I also appreciate Carla's accurate pronunciation of gochu-gang. Whenever I hear some Food Network chef say the word, I yell at the tv.

[@johngalt2071]

As a Korean, I was about to say the same thing. Agree with your commenter as well on the pronunciation of gochujang. Close enough. Its not hard to say it right lol!

[@welfareprincess]

Love, gonna make this with tofu and add cucumbers to the bowl!! Update: Came out amazing! I scored the top in a crisscross pattern and marinated it for about an hour, made it in the air fryer without flipping it for around 10 min at 400 :)

[@grainofsalt2113]

thank you for sharing, i want to try this in the air fryer as well!

[@acflnnr]

QUICKLES!!! love this word, immediately going to add it to my vocabulary daily.

[@ginaperimian8859]

Made this tonight and it was excellent!! Exactly to the recipe and even the quickles..Thank you Carla!

[@HobbyDad_dy]

Ever since I first saw your post, I've been making a Salmon Sushi Roll Bowl with Cucumber, Furikake, homemade Eel Sauce and an Avocado Green Goddess dressing. Really love this idea and thanks for the inspo. Can't wait to try your recipe out.

[@pifi]

Made this salmon last night and it was fantastic. Broiling really is a game changer!

[@KatandDollyDog]

Made this last night and it was a huge hit! Delicious and the 7 min cooking time was perfect

[@coastalinkstudios2351]

I tried this last night Carla. It is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing your gifts. Love the videos (and recipes).

[@willlevine9692]

Made this the other night. Will be a regular go to for me on a week night. Thanks, Carla. Fantastic meal.

[@mariorlcalderon4123]

The salmon is FANTASTIC. One of my top salmon recipes ever

[@nancybetts9148]

Just finished this delicious salmon and the picky hubby said it was worthy of a Sunday supper - high praise well deserved!

[@TheBirjo]

This was so freaking delicious and super easy to throw together!! Yet another Carla recipe that's a total keeper!

[@katieocanada8141]

I made this tonight!!! It is 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Amazing! Totally buying the cookbook immediately!

[@xinleihong123]

I marinated the salmon overnight and just had this for lunch, it was delicious! Thank you Carla for the recipe

[@bingboyify]

Carla's second book is just so creative and the dishes all sounds sooo good and so comforting. I just ordered this book but its going to take two months to be mailed to where i live in China, can't wait!!!

[@tpn1110]

Oh hell yes Carla! Go off with all the Asian condiments👏🏼

[@Coldmtnbum]

Just made this tonight! Freaking delicious!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! And it’s opened the door to so many possibilities and variations! Carla - you rock!

[@jessicaberger2619]

You make it so accessible thank you Carla ❤️

[@beancarjac]

This is a great recipe. It’s both easier than and an upgrade to my usual salmon recipe. I’ve made this 3-4 times and it’s officially in the Friday night salmon dinner rotation. Thanks! Happy New Year 🎉🥂

[@samezuoo]

So now I have to buy Gochujang paste... This bowl looks so good 😍

[@jenniferhoskin8778]

made immediately. 4 types of pickles. GREAT SUCCESS!

[@dylanscott2234]

I love this dish! Just made it for dinner tonight and it’s delicious!

[@gingerthingx]

I just knooow im gonna end up making this almost everyday. 😭 looks amazing

[@alexandrajamieson8387]

I made this tonight with cucumber, carrot and red onion quickles. I also added edamame as a topping option. Great recipe!

[@OneOlive1]

Yessss! Salmon recipe! Thank you Carla :)

[@AutumnWytch999]

Oh. Em. Gee. That looks so incredible - and so easy!

[@lelukins]

Already made it and it was so easy and soooo good!

[@kaycimarie776]

This looks delicious! I have all those ingredients in my fridge and pantry (aside from the salmon) so I have no excuse to not make this. My boyfriend LOVES all things crispy and I have never broiled salmon before. I'm sure this one will be a winner! Thanks for sharing 💞

[@lisabaker6700]

By far my most favorite Carla recipe, and I like 'em all!

[@gfraserewu]

Making tonight. Already in the glaze/marinade. As an Alaskan, amazing and fresh salmon is in abundance! Might not get my hands on chili garlic crisp or furikake in my small town, but it will still be delicious! Going to try grilling instead of broiling.

[@f.s.2642]

How was it

[@gfraserewu]

@@f.s.2642 Great! The charring was all on the bottom because of my grill. A little spicy for my wife, but she's a wimp and just wiped off some of the glaze and thought the flavor was great. No Kimchi. Had some alternative Japanese season blend instead of furikake. Pickled cucumbers too. Wondered if grating fresh ginger would be good or too strong...

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

If you (or a friend) get to Anchorage, hit New Sagaya. They have multiple varieties of furikake! It keeps well!

[@gfraserewu]

@@shawnaleewhitney6630 I go there almost every time I am in Anchorage! Often I just forget what ingredients I want to try or have seen in recipes recently.

[@tomsaejiw2940]

Have always been a fan since BA. This vid is making me buy your cook book. xx

[@carlosbarrientosugarte8499]

This looks so good! I will definitely try it 😊

[@boricua_in_wa]

That sounds so good! 😉 Can't wait to try this!

[@mattmulvey374]

Cala!! I’m one the 98% 💪🏻 love this recipe and can’t wait to try it!!!

[@JenniferJadeKerr]

Quickle! Yes! I've often wondered why people hadn't put the two words together before now. Good stuff 👏 👍

[@alexandermyklebust3640]

I watched this yesterday. Made it for dinner today :) Personally added fresh cucumber and scallions with the quickles Had a way too much marinade on, so my fish steamed instead of crisped. Making it again next week with lessons leared!

[@gracegeorge9313]

Just made this and it was DELICIOUS!!!!

[@MrShroombot]

I can't wait to make this one! Get it, Carla!

[@macyjudkins8667]

I wish i was eating this right now. it has everything i like in it!

[@susankim7167]

I just made this for dinner tonight. My family couldn’t stop raving about how delicious the salmon and the carrot slaw were. We don’t eat a lot of fish, but this will definitely go into our weekly dinner rotation. Carla, thank you for such an awesome recipe! I just ordered your cookbook and can’t wait to make more of your delectable dishes!

[@coljar100]

wow that looks epic... will try.. Thanks Carla

[@arlenesolis024]

Absolutely agree with you - THE BEST SALMON DISH 🤤

[@simashakeri95]

This looks amazinggggg can't wait to spice up my salmon dishes.

[@thebudge333]

That specific oyster sauce is totally chuggable. So good.

[@ktquayle]

This looks fab wow can't wait to try

[@ephemeralstardom]

omg a julienne peeler... genius

[@annamilam2227]

this is… incredible. I need it NOW

[@sarahwatts7152]

Looks amazing! I'm also a toaster oven woman, can't understand pop-up toaster types

[@m.theresa1385]

Ha! Toaster oven fan here. The chocolate chip walnut loaf I just made in my toaster oven rose so high it hit the burners ! No problem. I sliced the burned (crisp) top off (and ate it) and put it back in for 10 mins to crisp the surface. Next time I won’t put as much batter in, or I won’t use a loaf pan. Salmon on Friday.

[@TheIrishAlchemist205]

Love my "toaster" oven! It's so much more accessible for me than a big oven could ever be (using a wheelchair). Im gonna have really start making this, looks AMAZING. And so easy! Would love to see more things that could be easily prepared in the counter oven. 😋

[@thereIsaidit123]

Love it - I'm going to do it this weekend , I have all the ingredients, I will slice avocado too

[@aimeewynhausen9924]

Bet this would be excellent as a lettuce wrap too. yum!

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

Excellent idea! Ditto for rolling up in a rice paper wrapper like a fresh roll.

[@laurelfeiner2668]

Made it tonight. Absolutely delicious.

[@leahpassler6603]

The waving of the fish spatula around, with the little fishie. LOL

[@makinsiesheridan]

My mouth is literally watering. I don’t even like salmon. I’m gonna try it again though.

[@arshbehal6312]

That looks bloody delicious.

[@arthurianking9776]

Wonderful fish dish

[@garfieldclass10]

I made the salmon without the bowl, only thing I added was a drizzle of honey on top, absolutely amazing stuff!

[@Bearie155]

Can’t wait to make this!

[@LuliLulu]

Mmmh this looks so good! 😋

[@iamronya7677]

Omg this looks amazing

[@theclimbingtree]

Yum! Making this tonight!

[@jsstalder45]

Can’t wait to try this! And where is your anchovy shirt from?!

[@4themotherload]

Sometimes the god do smile on you and in this case me😜 I have a great piece of salmon in the fridge I got today for tomorrow, I have been thinking what will I do? Now I know and thank you for sharing! I have all the ingredients in the house and I am going to make my smashed cucumber salad to 🥂

[@m.theresa1385]

Yum on the smashed cucumber salad. I just got an English cucumber in my delivery, so now that’s the plan. (I forgot how much I love it. I’ve been on a Persian cucumber binge for a while.)

[@jenncrawford9604]

Made this tonight!!❤❤❤

[@brainshutdown]

Prepping for this recipe for lunch today. HOWEVER, I need to know where that gold vegetable peeler is from!! I’ve never seen such smooth peeling, I have peeler envy maximus.

[@broadwaywes]

98% of me LOVES this

[@jessibuzz3363]

Amazing looking dish, I can’t wait to make it soon. Also, where did you get your shirt? I need it! 🥰

[@orffrocks5667]

hilarious spatula trick!

[@clairewright8153]

That looks amazingly good. Need to add salmon to my shopping list.

[@marynorbury-glaser182]

julienne peeler is key for making Japanese dishes - carrots, radishes, cakes, beets, etc.!

[@hazelv90]

Oh yeah in gonna have to make this 🤤

[@vadalia3860]

Made this tonight for the first time and loved it! We've got chronic baby-mouth in my family so I halved the gochujang and only put a few drops of the sesame seed oil (I find it VERY strong) so the taste was very mild but delicious. I'll probably up the gochujang to 3/4 of what the recipe calls for next time, and there WILL be a next time- this is going on the regular meal rotation. Delicious!

[@loridahlin730]

I’m pretty mad that I can’t make this for dinner tonight. Need to add ingredients to the grocery list so I can have ASAP!

[@jvansust]

Dang, I bet the leftovers would make an EXCELLENT hand roll.

[@paullee5017]

If you make extra marinade it's basically "ssamjang" and is great as a dip for raw veggies.

[@amkalota]

WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR SHIRT?! I need it!! Awesome recipe too ❤️❤️❤️

[@carlossolis1]

Not sure if i really loved this recipe or just have a crush on carla. Anyways, lovely content!!

[@wandamarcille2755]

Can’t wait to try this. I don’t see the link to the chili-crisp? I can search it, but wanted to give you credit.

[@Mmmaaarrr86]

best alternate cooking method if you don't have a broiler? this looks amazing

[@rebeccabrandt2505]

I am here not only for this perfect recipe. But also for the gold belt + white jeans. Carla has my ♡.

[@Elizab3thds]

yum!

[@rob-dq7sv]

Things like this are why my fridge is 2 whole shelves of condiments

[@crmrpr]

Love the anchovy tee! Where's it from?

[@trayvixk4642]

Cold leftover rice is ideal for fried rice so it's a win-win if you make a big batch of it and just make two meals.

[@lauren-en2ig]

Girlllll. Immediately in the rotation. So, so easy. Highlights the homemade kimchi. Easy to mix your own furikake. All things good. Might use the salmon for our next bibimbap night. Ooof- winnnnnner.

[@BlinkyB23]

Ditto on the news making you mad! I used to listen to NPR at work and I realized I would come home mad or depressed 😂 Life is too short for that haha.

[@phosalaesuriyasak4537]

I always giggle when people talk about julienne peelers. I've been using that nifty tool since I was a kid 15 years ago. It was always my job to shred up things like cucumbers, carrots, daikon radish, etc etc.

[@JordanGingold]

Carla please stop being so adorable

[@unit--ns8jh]

I thought to myself - finally, a recipe that will let me use some of my gochujang which currently sits very lonely and abandoned in my kitchen cabinet, but it turns out I'd have to buy mirin, rice vinegar and miso to keep it company later so I'll probably pass :) The recipe sounds delicious tho ;)

[@ryan.gllghr]

Do you think the skin needs to stay on? Or would taking it off prior to marinating be okay? I just hate taking the skin off while eating. Love your videos!

[@Juansonos]

There was a note on screen that said skin was optional while showing the salmon

[@Mr.itbelikethat]

Love your nails dawg

[@lynsvike]

Any suggestions for subbing out the oyster sauce? Bivalves are not kind to me, and we have not found a vegetarian oyster sauce that we like.

[@cocdcy]

If there’s one thing Carla’s gonna do, it’s wildly underestimating container sizes

[@johntreadaway7844]

#fabulous #myabsolutefavorite

[@grainofsalt2113]

gonna airfry this

[@saraha6401]

Planning to make this weekend... how would you feel about adding some fresh ginger to the marinade? Just 'cause I have some and need to use it up...

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

go for it, totally! a version of this recipe had ginger and it was good, but i was just trying to keep ingredient list as short as possible

[@saraha6401]

@@CarlaLalliMusic123 This was DELICIOUS! One of my absolute new favorites... I LOVE IT. I also had never had chili crisp before so now put it on literally EVERYTHING. Just put it on my grilled cheese sandwich because... yum!

[@theouthousepoet]

I feel you on the angry-dinner-prep-experience™ I've switched to listening to the New Scientist podcast as Science fun and uplifting! (though they do have some unfortunately sad episodes in the past couple of years re: climate change, etc.) Thanks for another great episode, Carla!

[@bren7607]

Gochujang broiled a salmon bowl??? Talk about talent

[@ferneev]

What if I cannot find miso? What can I substitute?
