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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced.

Step 3

Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce and whisk constantly to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 5

Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the pan and let rest on a plate. Brush or spoon the thickened teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon fillets.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb side, such as steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice.
