Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
• 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Granular erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon (optional, for thickening) Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
• 1 stalk (chopped, for garnish) Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, coconut aminos, granular erythritol, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.

Step 3

Optional: If you prefer a thicker glaze, add the xanthan gum to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush a generous amount of the teriyaki glaze over each fillet.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

While the salmon is baking, pour the remaining glaze into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and brush it with the reduced glaze for an extra glossy finish.

Step 8

Transfer the fillets to serving plates and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
