Seed Oil Free Coconut Maple Glazed Salmon
Sweet, savory, and just a little glossy, this glazed salmon hits every note you want from a weeknight dinner that still feels special. The glaze comes together from pure maple syrup, coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and apple cider vinegar — no soy sauce, no refined sugars, and absolutely no industrial seed oils anywhere in the recipe. Coconut oil handles the searing, which means you get that gorgeous golden crust on the flesh without reaching for canola or vegetable oil. The two-step cook — a quick stovetop sear followed by a short oven roast — locks in moisture while the glaze caramelizes into something almost lacquer-like on top. A reserved drizzle of glaze at the end keeps the flavor bright and punchy rather than baked-away and flat. Finished with scallions and fresh cilantro, it looks like something you'd order at a restaurant, but every single ingredient is one you chose and can trust.

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.
