4 servings
For the salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the glaze
- ⅓ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze reduces by about one-third and coats the back of a spoon, 4–5 minutes. Watch closely near the end, as the sugars in the coconut aminos can scorch quickly. Remove from heat and set aside.
