Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 3 tablespoons Swerve brown sugar substitute
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining tamari, coconut aminos, Swerve brown sugar substitute, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir well to blend the ingredients.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer.

Step 3

Add the xanthan gum, stirring continuously to thicken the sauce. Once the sauce reaches a thick, syrupy consistency, remove it from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps ensure a good sear.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the fillet lifts easily from the pan.

Step 7

Turn the salmon fillets over and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet, spooning it over the salmon to ensure each piece is well coated.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the salmon to serving plates.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately, enjoying your low-carb salmon teriyaki!
