Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375º or grill to medium-high heat.
  • Add coconut aminos, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, black pepper, crushed red pepper, molasses, honey, and diced pineapple to a bowl and mix together with a fork or whisk. This makes up your spicy homemade teriyaki sauce. 1 cup coconut aminos ¼ cup fresh ginger 2 tbsp roasted sesame oil 2 tbsp rice vinegar 2 tsp garlic 2 tsp black pepper 2 tsp crushed red pepper 2 tsp molasses ¼ cup honey ¼ cup pineapple
  • Place salmon in a single layer in a foil pan or baking dish, skin side down. If using a baking sheet or dish to cook, line it with aluminum foil.
  • Pour sauce over the salmon. Save about 1/2 cup of sauce for after your salmon is cooked. If you have extra sauce, go ahead and put it in the fridge or freezer for next time. 2 lbs salmon
  • Grill or bake your salmon 15-18 minutes for frozen or 10-12 for thawed. This time will change based on how thick your salmon filets are. Cooked salmon is 145º and flakes easily with a fork. 
  • Remove salmon from the grill or oven. Serve with your favorite veggie.
    Top with extra teriyaki sauce or chopped green onions. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. ½ cup green onions

Notes

Use a foil pan or baking dish lined with foil for easy cleanup.
This marinade can be used on any type of fish–definitely not just salmon.
