Honey Pineapple Salmon Simple and Flavorful Recipe
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
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice until well combined.
- 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.
- If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Alternatively, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
