Homemade salmon jerky is one of those snacks that sounds ambitious but is genuinely straightforward once you understand the process, and this version delivers serious flavor with every chewy, savory strip. The marinade leans on coconut aminos for that deep, umami-rich base ā a smart swap that keeps things clean without sacrificing any of the salty depth you'd expect from a great jerky. Fresh ginger and turmeric bring warmth and a subtle earthiness, while honey rounds everything out with just a touch of sweetness. Lupin flour and lupin-derived ingredients have quietly crept into a surprising number of packaged snacks and protein products, so making your own jerky from scratch means you know exactly what's in every bite. The low-and-slow oven method does all the heavy lifting ā no dehydrator required ā and the brief freezing step before slicing is a small trick that makes cutting clean, even strips much easier. Once cooled, the jerky keeps in the fridge for up to a week, though it rarely lasts that long.

Place the salmon fillet on a cutting board and freeze for 20ā30 minutes, until firm but not frozen solid ā this makes slicing easier. Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick and 1 inch wide.
In a zip-top bag or shallow dish, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, turmeric, honey, and sea salt until combined.
