PCOS-friendly Tamari and faux ‘brown sugar’ deliver tasty salmon teriyaki.
Simple Salmon Teriyaki
Description
We have several simple salmon recipes up our sleeve, but teriyaki flavor is one we look forward to. With just a little Tamari (or soy if you're not sensitive), and erythritol 'brown sugar,' you can deliver a salmon dish you'd gladly serve to guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Season the salmon flesh lightly with salt, then spritz the skin with olive oil. Place the salmon skin-side down in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is opaque halfway up the sides, 10 to 14 minutes. From time to time, press the salmon down with a spatula to help the skin make contact with the pan. The goal here is to crisp the skin.
-
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, chicken broth, and erythritol brown sugar.
-
Reduce the heat to low, flip the salmon and pour the sauce into the skillet, making sure to scrape out the erythritol in the bottom of the bowl. Let the sauce simmer until it starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Continue to simmer and occasionally spoon the sauce over the salmon until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce more like a glaze, 1 to 3 more minutes. If the salmon is done before the sauce has thickened, transfer the salmon to a plate and continue to simmer the sauce until it resembles maple syrup. Pour the sauce over the salmon.
