Summary

The Korean BBQ-inspired sauce on this salmon has that ideal balance of sweet, salty, tangy, and spicy. The sweetness comes naturally from fruit, not added sugars. You could also use this sauce on chicken: bake boneless, skinless chicken thighs without the sauce for 15 minutes, then brush on the sauce and bake for another 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
