Directions

1. Begin with the teriyaki sauce:
2. Place dates in the very hot water and allow to soak for a minute. Pour water and dates in a high speed blender or food processor, then add the coconut aminos, vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Blend well until smooth, then pulse in the arrowroot or tapioca.
3. Pour mixture into a small saucepan and set over med-high heat to bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium/med-low and allow to simmer another 5 minutes or until thick and syrupy. It should be reduced to 1/2 cup once done. Keep warm while grilling salmon.
4. Grill the salmon:
5. Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on the top side. heat grill or stovetop over high heat. Brush grill or grill pan with the coconut or olive oil.
6. Once smoking hot, add fillets skin side down (or bottom down, if skinless) and cook 2-3 mins. If your fillets have skin this will crisp it up deliciously!
7. Carefully flip salmon using tongs and grill the second side for another 2-3 mins depending on the thickness of your fillets. Salmon should easily flake with a fork when done.
8. Using the tongs, carefully remove fillets to your serving platter. Spoon or brush the teriyaki sauce all over the salmon fillets, then top with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion. Serve over green salad or with cauli rice or grilled summer veggies. Enjoy!
