Salmon jerky might sound unexpected, but this ginger-forward version is genuinely addictive ā chewy, savory, and packed with bold flavor from a marinade built around coconut aminos, fresh ginger, garlic, and a touch of turmeric. Coconut aminos steps in as the soy sauce alternative here, which is key because traditional soy sauce often contains fermented wheat and yeast byproducts that can be a problem for anyone avoiding them. Apple cider vinegar brings a gentle tang, and a spoonful of honey rounds everything out with just enough sweetness to balance the heat and earthiness. The low-and-slow oven method does all the heavy lifting ā no dehydrator required ā and the wire rack setup ensures even airflow so every strip dries out properly. A quick freeze before slicing makes it easy to get those clean, uniform cuts that dry evenly and give you that satisfying, flexible chew. It's a high-protein snack that travels well, keeps in the fridge for up to a week, and honestly disappears faster than that anyway.

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.
