Asparagus is the obvious spring vegetable to include in a July recipe but it’s so versatile and I always miss it when it’s gone. Pairing it with a delicious sweet and savory soy glaze from the salmon is to die for in this keto salmon and noodle teriyaki recipe.

This meal can stand alone without the Konjac noodles if you can’t find them or don’t want to use them but try them out as a really delicious low carb substitution for rice noodles.
These ingredients are key to getting the classic teriyaki sauce! If you have soy, gluten, or grain intolerance, I’ve included some substitutions for a healthier version of the store-bought teriyaki sauce. It’s really easy to throw together!
I’ve suggested using tamari for lower sodium and a more Japanese-inspired flavour palate in this recipe. You can purchase it at most big box grocery stores or health food stores. Let’s make some keto salmon and noodle teriyaki together!
Ingredients
- salmon
- sesame oil
- tamari (gluten free soy sauce) or coconut aminos if soy free
- honey or xylitol if strict keto
- lime juice
- garlic
- ground ginger
- asparagus
- carrots
- corn starch or arrowroot starch if grain free
- konjac noodles
- green onions
Marinate the Salmon
Whisk together sesame oil, tamari, garlic, xylitol, lime juice, and ground ginger. Place the salmon in the marinade while you get the remaining ingredients together. Bake Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil over the entire surface of a large sheet pan. Place the salmon and veggies on and drizzle a little marinate on top of the veggies. Bake covered in another sheet of aluminum foil that has the edges brought up to make a packet.
Cooking the Noodles and Sauces
Konjac noodles come in a packet. Remove the noodles from the packet, drain, rinse and cook in a skillet until all of the water evaporates. Meanwhile, put the remaining marinade in a saucepan. Make a slurry with the corn starch and water and pour in the simmering marinade until thick. Remove the salmon from the oven, broil, and serve with noodles and extra sauce! Don’t forget to garnish with some crisp green onions.
