Salmon jerky might sound unexpected, but this citrus-and-garlic version is genuinely addictive — chewy, savory, and bright with fresh orange and warming ginger in every bite. The marinade leans on coconut aminos instead of conventional soy sauce, which means you sidestep the high fructose corn syrup and other unwanted additives that sneak into many store-bought condiments and jerky products. Honey steps in as the only sweetener here, keeping things clean and straightforward. The brief freezer trick before slicing is a small but brilliant move that makes cutting uniform strips much easier, which matters because even thickness means even drying. Ground turmeric and apple cider vinegar round out the marinade with a subtle earthiness and gentle tang that balance the sweetness of the orange juice beautifully. Low-and-slow oven drying does all the heavy lifting — no dehydrator required — and the result is a protein-packed snack that keeps in the fridge for days or the freezer for a full month.

Place the salmon fillet in the freezer for 30–45 minutes, until it is firm but not frozen solid — this makes slicing much easier.
While the salmon chills, whisk together the coconut aminos, fresh orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground turmeric, sea salt, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a mixing bowl until the honey is fully dissolved.
