Ingredients

  • 4 fillets salmon (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 juice lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0 Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 0 Sliced green onions, for garnish
  • 0 Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice until well combined.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Alternatively, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. In a small bowl, toss the diced pineapple with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill or sauté the pineapple for about 3-4 minutes until slightly caramelized and golden brown. Set aside.
  5. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily with a fork. If using a skillet, cook the same way, adding the reserved marinade towards the last minute to create a glaze.
  6. On a serving plate, place the grilled salmon fillets and top each with the sautéed pineapple. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the salmon.
  7. Finish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.

💡 Chef's Notes

For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
