Equipment
- Grill or Oven
- Bamboo Skewers
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Korean BBQ Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Korean red pepper paste gochujang
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water
- chopped green onions (optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, Korean red pepper paste, and sesame seeds. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer.
- Thicken the Sauce: Gradually pour in the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place salmon cubes in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the Korean BBQ sauce over the salmon, reserving the rest for basting.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread marinated salmon cubes onto soaked bamboo skewers.
- Grill the Kabobs: Lightly oil the grill pan to prevent sticking. Grill kabobs for 3-4 minutes per side, or until salmon is cooked through and has grill marks.
- During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the reserved Korean BBQ sauce onto the kabobs, turning occasionally to coat evenly.
- Remove kabobs from the grill and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes.
