The original recipe can be found here.Our healthy take on teriyaki – a popular Japanese dish with meat, marinated in a sweet, soy-based sauce served with rice. We have swapped the meat for salmon and decreased the carbs by replacing the sugar with semi-sweet coconut aminos and replaced rice with tender and vibrant veggies. This quick and easy one-pan meal is a keeper for sure!

- 3 tbsp tamari soy sauce
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or white vinegar 5%
