  1. Carefully inspect the salmon fillet for any bones and cut it into ¾ to 1-inch slices.

  3. Coat the salmon slices generously with the bulgogi marinade and let marinate for about 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Preheat your broiler to high or your oven to 450°F (232°C) and choose your cooking method.
