Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and pour half of the marinade over them. Let sit for 10-15 minutes (optional but recommended).
  4. Bake: Arrange pineapple chunks around the salmon. Bake for 15-18 minutes, depending on thickness, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Broil for caramelization (optional): Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly.
  6. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm with rice, quinoa, or steamed veggies.

Notes

  • Grilled Version: Instead of baking, grill the salmon over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side.
  • Extra Glaze: Simmer the remaining marinade in a saucepan for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Drizzle over the salmon before serving.
  • Spicy Kick: Add sriracha or extra red pepper flakes for more heat.
  • Vegetable Add-Ins: Bake with bell peppers, asparagus, or zucchini for a one-pan meal.
