Honey Pineapple Salmon

This Honey Pineapple Salmon is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The rich, flaky salmon pairs perfectly with the tangy pineapple glaze, creating a balance of freshness and depth. The honey brings a natural sweetness to the dish, while the soy sauce and Dijon mustard add a subtle umami kick. It’s a simple yet elegant dish that’s perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

1. Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pineapple, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger (if using). Set aside to let the flavors combine.
3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
5. Flip the salmon fillets over and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet.
6. Spoon some of the honey pineapple glaze over the top of each salmon fillet.
7. Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Remove the salmon from the oven and spoon any remaining glaze over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
