Ingredients
Method
- In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, lemon juice, and cornstarch slurry.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add vegan salmon and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden.
- Pour the glaze mixture into the pan and let it simmer.
- Cook for 5–7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets until thick and glossy.
- Once coated evenly, remove from heat and let the sauce cling beautifully to each piece.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions for that restaurant-level finish.
- Serve with rice, noodles, or roasted veggies — basically whatever helps soak up that sauce.
- Take a deep breath, admire your masterpiece, and prepare for applause (from yourself, obviously).
