Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
• 0.33 cup Coconut aminos
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (sugar-free sweetener)
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon (freshly grated) Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks (sliced, optional for garnish) Green onions

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, granulated erythritol, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Heat on medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the erythritol is dissolved and the flavors meld together (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix arrowroot powder and water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the saucepan while whisking continuously. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared keto teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets. Gently spoon the sauce over the salmon to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, allowing the sauce to glaze the fillets.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the salmon fillets to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.

Step 7

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite keto-friendly sides, such as cauliflower rice or steamed broccoli.
