Pescatarian Whole30 Pineapple Sweet and Sour Sauce

That tangy-sweet punch you get from a great sweet and sour sauce is hard to replicate cleanly, but this version absolutely nails it using nothing but whole-food pantry staples. Unsweetened pineapple juice brings natural brightness, coconut aminos add a savory depth in place of soy sauce, and a touch of fresh ginger keeps every bite lively and a little warming. Tomato paste rounds out the body of the sauce while apple cider vinegar delivers that signature tang without any refined sugars or additives sneaking in. The arrowroot slurry is the secret to getting that glossy, clingy consistency — just whisk it in at the end and pull the pan off the heat the moment it thickens, since arrowroot can go thin again if you push it too far. This sauce is incredibly versatile for seafood nights — drizzle it over grilled shrimp, toss it with seared salmon bites, or use it as a dipping sauce for fish skewers straight off the grill. It stores beautifully and comes together in one small saucepan, making it an easy weeknight win you'll keep coming back to.
