Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 sliced scallions
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, monk fruit sweetener, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the water and arrowroot powder to create a slurry. Set both mixtures aside.

Step 3

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Step 5

Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the salmon and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture into the same pan. Stir gently and allow it to cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the arrowroot slurry to the sauce and stir until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 1 minute.

Step 8

Return the salmon to the pan, spoon the teriyaki sauce over the fillets, and cook for an additional minute to meld the flavors.

Step 9

Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
