Keto Teriyaki Salmon: What’s so special about salmon?

Salmon is an amazing protein for the keto or low carb diet. Besides being delicious, salmon boasts being:

  • High in protein (a 4-oz portion has just over 20 grams)
  • Full of Omega-3 fatty acid and Vitamin D
  • Very low in carbohydrates
  • A good source of Vitamin B, selenium, and magnesium

Besides its nutritional value, salmon is also super easy to cook. For example, salmon can be grilled, baked, or pan fried in less than 15 minutes.

Why make a teriyaki marinade?

The bottled teriyaki sauce from the grocery store is usually filled with ingredients that are not keto-friendly ingredients.

For example, the bottle that I used to purchase includes sugar and cornstarch in the first few ingredients.

I made this sauce because I wanted to have teriyaki marinade without risking getting knocked out of ketosis.

How do you make low carb teriyaki sauce?

This easy homemade teriyaki sauce is amazing! Simply heat a medium sized sauce pan, then add your soy sauce, Swerve brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and xanthan gum.

I whisk those together and heat thoroughly. It takes the sauce about 10-15 minutes, with me stirring occasionally, to thicken. 

Is this Keto Teriyaki Salmon recipe gluten-free?

Yes! This sauce is gluten free, making it a delicious sauce and marinade for everyone!

Can you make Keto Teriyaki sauce ahead?

Yes. This sauce can be made ahead of time, and stored in the fridge. I tend to double the back and use it on different proteins to create a range of low carb meals!

Recipes to make this Low Carb Teriyaki Salmon a meal

I love Asian inspired foods, and this is one of my favorites. To turn this into a complete meal, you can pair it with:

  • Easy Sauteed Asparagus
  • Riced Cauliflower Pilaf
  • Cauliflower Fried Rice

What other proteins can you use besides salmon?

If you want to switch up your protein, swap out the salmon for another favorite. Some ideas you are sure to love:

  • Whole 30 Shrimp
  • Indoor Grilled Chicken Kabobs 
  • Bacon Wrapped Chicken Kabobs (swap the teriyaki for the BBQ sauce)

Other ideas for this keto teriyaki sauce recipe:

  • Keto Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs
  • Easy Baked Teriyaki Wings
  • Keto Smoked Teriyaki Tofu

Other Keto Salmon Recipes

  • Salmon Steak
  • Air Fryer Salmon
  • Baked Salmon With Creamy Dill Sauce
  • Greek Salmon

Baked Salmon Steak Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe

Baked salmon steak is a great midweek or weekend dinner that you can dress up for date night or keep it simple and serve the whole family. Perfect for those on Whole30, Paleo, Low Carb & Keto. Also for those who just want to make simple meals.

For the Keto Teriyaki Sauce

    This recipe was very good. I did not have soy sauce so I used liquid amino. It was enough for a couple of meals. This is definitely in the rotation.
