so, what are coconut aminos?

This is my most commonly asked question on my blog. What are coconut aminos? Well, coconut aminos are a soy-free alternative to soy sauce. They have about 75% less sodium than regular soy sauce. They are made with the fermented sap of coconut palm, but they do not taste like coconuts.

Truthfully, they taste very similar to soy sauce, but they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and refined sugar-free. As well paleo and whole 30 compliant. Coconut aminos are one of my favorite things to cook with to give a delicious, Asian-inspired teriyaki taste flavor with clean ingredients.

where can I buy coconut aminos?

You should be able to buy coconut aminos at most grocery stores. Oftentimes they are tucked away in a specified ‘health food’ section, or they may be with international items like soy sauce. In my hometown in Central Illinois, I’ve found them at stores like County Market, Harvest Market, Whole Foods, and Trader Joes. And of course, Amazon!

There are also many products called “Liquid Aminos” that will work in replace of coconut aminos as well, but they are not made with just coconut. They do contain some soy, and have slightly higher sodium content but are still a good alternative to soy sauce.

Servings 3 wraps

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz fresh salmon filet
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 butter lettuce wraps
  • 3 oz rice noodles cooked
  • 3 tbsp shredded red cabbage
  • 1/4 lime juiced
  • 1/4 cup diced mango or mango salsa
  • salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
  • sesame seeds to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Start by dicing your salmon filet into about 1-inch cubes (see photos above) and cut the skin off of the salmon. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic until lightly coated.
  • Heat sesame oil in a skillet on high heat. Once hot, add each piece of salmon leaving room between each one. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Mix the coconut aminos, sriracha sauce, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  • Push the salmon pieces to the outer edges of the pan and pour the sauce into the middle on medium to high heat. Let the sauce gently simmer until it thickens. When a glaze begins to form, coat the salmon pieces in the glaze.
  • Cook rice noodles to package instructions. In a small bowl, juice 1/4 lime over the red cabbage and mix.
  • Assemble your wraps by adding the rice noodles, glazed salmon, red cabbage, and mango. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

If you like extra sauce on the side, double the listed portion above and save half to dip.
If you are low carb or paleo, simply leave out the rice noodles.
If you don’t like salmon, you can substitute chicken or shrimp as well.
