Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or your favorite low-carb sweetener
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional for thickness)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, erythritol, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in a tablespoon of water and add it to the marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the fillets are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Grill or sear the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Once the salmon is cooked, drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
- Enjoy this flavorful teriyaki salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
