Ingredients

3 tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce, plus more, to taste
1 tablespoon rice vinegar, plus more, to taste
5 large cloves garlic
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 pound salmon, skinless, bones removed, chopped into bite-sized chunks
lime juice, optional, to taste
sea salt, to taste

Directions

Step 1 -In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of the coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of the rice vinegar, the garlic cloves, and the sesame oil. Set it aside.

Step 2 -In a large skillet over high heat, warm the avocado oil, allowing the skillet to heat up.

Step 3 -Carefully place the salmon fillets on the skillet, cooking them undisturbed, for about 2-4 minutes.

Step 4 -Flip the salmon and cook until both sides are deeply golden-brown, about 2-4 minutes.

Step 5 -Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the salmon.

Step 6 -Gently swish the pan around until each fillet of the fish has been touched by the sauce mixture.

Step 7 -Cook the sauce-coated salmon covered, stirring and flipping occasionally until the salmon is cooked through and an instant thermometer inserted in the center reads 145 degrees F, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 8 -Taste the cooked salmon and adjust the seasoning by adding the extra coconut aminos, the extra rice vinegar, the lime juice, and the salt, as needed.

Step 9 -Serve.
