Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Granular erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional, for thickening) Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
- 1 stalk (chopped, for garnish) Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, coconut aminos, granular erythritol, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Optional: If you prefer a thicker glaze, add the xanthan gum to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve, ensuring there are no lumps.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush a generous amount of the teriyaki glaze over each fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon is baking, pour the remaining glaze into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and brush it with the reduced glaze for an extra glossy finish.
Transfer the fillets to serving plates and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
