Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6 oz each salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Whole30-compliant date syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, date syrup, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops and sides generously with the prepared glaze.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, if desired, pour remaining glaze in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush it with any remaining glaze.
Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top as garnish.
Serve immediately with your favorite Whole30-compliant sides, such as roasted vegetables or cauliflower rice.
