Salmon jerky sounds like a niche snack, but once you try a batch made at home, it's hard to go back to anything store-bought. The marinade here is genuinely special ā coconut aminos bring a deep, savory sweetness, while fresh ginger, garlic, and turmeric layer in warmth and a subtle earthiness that keeps every bite interesting. A touch of honey and apple cider vinegar round things out with just enough brightness to balance the richness of the fish. The whole process is straightforward: a quick freeze for clean slicing, a long marinade, and a low-and-slow oven dry that transforms the salmon into chewy, flavorful strips with the perfect flex. For anyone navigating seed-free eating, this recipe is a natural fit ā every ingredient is clean and uncomplicated, with no sesame, poppy, or other seeds hiding in the marinade the way they often do in commercial jerky or bottled sauces. It's a high-protein snack that travels well, holds in the fridge for up to a week, and honestly disappears faster than that.

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.
