Make the glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang or hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice wine vinegar and ginger. Spoon out 2 tablespoons of the glaze and reserve in a separate small bowl.
Broil the salmon
Position an oven rack 6-inches from the heat source and fully preheat the broiler for about 10 minutes. Line a 13x9-inch rimmed baking sheet with a piece of foil for easier clean up (don't use parchment paper, which will burn under the broiler).
Put the salmon fillets on the sheet pan and arrange the asparagus in handfuls around the salmon in a flat layer. Drizzle some olive oil over the salmon and asparagus (about 1 tablespoon) and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the pan under the broiler and broil 2-5 minutes, until the salmon looks opaque and almost completely cooked through and the asparagus is bright green. The timing will vary depending on the power of your particular broiler and the thickness of the fillets.
Brush the top of the salmon with the 2 tablespoons reserved glaze. Return to the broiler and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is set (watch carefully so that the glaze doesn’t burn).
Sprinkle the sliced scallion or chives over the salmon and serve with additional glaze spooned over.
