Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks scallions, sliced
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, granulated erythritol, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce base.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce and whisk constantly to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the pan and let rest on a plate. Brush or spoon the thickened teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon fillets.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb side, such as steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice.
