Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 whole Green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, erythritol, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well until the sweetener is dissolved to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon, ensuring even coverage. Reserve the rest of the marinade for later.

Step 3

Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to penetrate the fish.

Step 4

Heat the avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes without disturbing the fish to allow the skin to crisp up.

Step 5

Carefully flip the salmon and pour the reserved marinade over the fish. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Transfer the salmon fillets to a serving platter. Pour any remaining sauce from the skillet over the salmon.

Step 7

Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly salmon teriyaki!
