4 servings
For the salmon

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

- ⅓ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

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.
