Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets eel fillets
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the teriyaki glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, erythritol, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
2. Heat the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the erythritol dissolves and the mixture starts thickening, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool while you prepare the eel.
4. Sprinkle the eel fillets with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stove, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Place the eel fillets on the grill or in the grill pan, skin-side down. Grill the fillets for about 5 minutes per side, brushing them with the teriyaki glaze during the last minute on each side. Continue grilling until the glaze is caramelized and the eel is cooked through.
7. Remove the eel fillets from the grill and set them on a serving platter.
8. Chop the green onions finely and sprinkle them over the grilled eel along with sesame seeds.
9. Serve immediately, enjoying the richly flavored eel complemented by the keto-friendly teriyaki glaze.
