Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, date syrup, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops and sides generously with the prepared glaze.

Step 4

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

Step 5

While the salmon is baking, if desired, pour remaining glaze in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Once salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush it with any remaining glaze.
