  • Step 4

    While the salmon is cooking, take the sliced scallions and lightly toss with the gochugaru and sesame oil.

  • Step 5

    To serve: top the broiled salmon with the seasoned scallions and serve alongside Boston bibb lettuce, sliced cucumbers, shiso leaves, sliced chilies, ssämjang, kimchi as well as pickled radish.
