Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener or stevia
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, monk fruit sweetener, sesame oil, and water to create the sugar-free teriyaki sauce.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with a tablespoon of water to form a slurry and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of neutral oil.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season them with salt and pepper if desired.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the pan.

Step 6

Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, pour in the teriyaki sauce mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 8

Stir in the arrowroot slurry and cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens to the desired consistency (1-2 minutes).

Step 9

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon the thickened teriyaki sauce over them to coat evenly.

Step 10

Remove the salmon from the heat and transfer to plates. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if using.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice, for a complete meal.
