4. Mix the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, chili paste, green onions, and sesame oil to make the chili honey garlic sauce.
5. Mix the mayo, gochujang, and honey to make the spicy creamy sauce.

7. Serve the salmon and vegetables with avocado wedges, sesame seeds, and the spicy creamy sauce.
Notes
Cut the salmon into similar sized pieces so it cooks evenly and absorbs the glaze well.
Dry the salmon before seasoning to help encourage light caramelization.
Taste and adjust the glaze before coating the salmon if you prefer more sweetness or heat.
Store leftovers separately to maintain texture and reheat gently to keep the salmon tender.
