Keto Ginger & Soy Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free option)
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
• 1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
• 1 tbsp erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 1 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, lime juice, and erythritol (if using). Stir well to combine.
2. Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for stronger flavor).
3. Cook the salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down if they have skin. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
4. Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
