Salmon jerky might sound unexpected, but once you've tried a batch made with a punchy ginger and coconut aminos marinade, you'll wonder why you ever settled for beef jerky from a gas station. The marinade layers coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, garlic, turmeric, and a touch of honey for a deeply savory, slightly sweet bite with a warm, aromatic finish. Every ingredient earns its place, and there's not a drop of industrial vegetable or seed oil anywhere in the recipe ā just clean, whole-food components doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The low-and-slow oven method at 175°F does all the heavy lifting, gently drying the salmon strips over a few hours until they're firm, flexible, and packed with flavor. Partially freezing the fillet before slicing is a smart trick that makes cutting clean, even strips genuinely easy. The result is a high-protein, portable snack that travels well and keeps in the fridge for up to a week ā perfect for meal prep, hiking, or just having something satisfying on hand that doesn't come with a suspicious ingredient list.

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.
