Walnut 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 in minutes on the stovetop — pure maple syrup, coconut aminos, fresh ginger, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of turmeric — and it caramelizes beautifully over the seared fillets as they finish roasting in the oven. Searing the salmon first in coconut oil gives you those golden, slightly crisp edges before the oven does the rest of the work, locking in moisture and letting the glaze cling to every inch. A reserved portion of the glaze gets drizzled on at the very end, so the flavor stays bright and punchy rather than baked away. The whole ingredient list is naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no need to swap anything out or second-guess a single step. Scattered scallions and fresh cilantro at the end add a pop of color and freshness that makes the finished plate look genuinely restaurant-worthy. Serve it straight from the skillet and watch it disappear.

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.
