Peanut Free Coconut Maple Glazed Salmon
Sweet, savory, and deeply satisfying, this glazed salmon hits every note you want from a weeknight dinner that still feels a little special. The glaze is built from pure maple syrup, coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and a touch of apple cider vinegar — ingredients that come together into something sticky, glossy, and genuinely crave-worthy. A double hit of turmeric in both the seasoning and the glaze gives the fish a warm golden color and an earthy depth that makes the whole dish look as good as it tastes. Searing the fillets first in coconut oil locks in that caramelized crust before the oven finishes the job, so you get tender, flaky salmon with edges that are just slightly crisp. For anyone navigating peanut allergies, this recipe is naturally reassuring — every ingredient is straightforward, with no sauces or condiments that typically hide peanut derivatives. Finishing with a drizzle of the reserved glaze and a scatter of fresh cilantro and scallions pulls it all together in a way that feels restaurant-worthy with very little effort.

Combine the maple syrup, coconut aminos, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and the remaining 1/4 tsp turmeric in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely near the end, as the maple syrup can scorch quickly. Remove from heat and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the glaze in a separate small bowl for serving.
