Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:
  • 4 salmon fillets about 5 oz each
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Honey Pineapple Glaze:
  • ½ cup fresh pineapple chunks or canned, drained
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon grated ginger
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon sriracha for a spicy kick
Garnish (optional):
  • Fresh cilantro chopped
  • Lime wedges

Method
 

  1. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine pineapple chunks, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and sriracha (if using).
  3. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and pineapple begins to caramelize.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 4–5 minutes.
  5. Flip the salmon and brush generously with the pineapple honey glaze. Cook another 3–4 minutes, basting as needed, until the salmon is cooked through and flaky.
  6. Spoon extra glaze and pineapple over the top, garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For oven baking, place salmon on a foil-lined sheet, add glaze, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
  • You can blend the glaze for a smoother sauce if desired.
  • Serve with coconut rice, quinoa, or a simple salad to round out the meal.
  • Swap pineapple with mango or peach for a different fruity flair.
