Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz each)
• 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Arrowroot powder (or tapioca starch)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional, for added flavor)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine coconut aminos, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot powder (or tapioca starch) and water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the simmering sauce, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 4

Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil, if using. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.

Step 6

Brush the salmon generously with the soy-free teriyaki sauce, reserving some sauce for serving.

Step 7

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, quinoa, or stir-fried vegetables.
