📋 Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) 🐟
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced 🍍
  • 2 tablespoons honey 🍯
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce 🌿
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 🍋
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 🛢️
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 🌿
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional) 🌿

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:

  1. Season the salmon:
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry and season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
  1. Heat the olive oil:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down (if skin-on), and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

2. Make the Honey Pineapple Glaze:

  1. Sauté the garlic:
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  1. Add the pineapple:
  • Add the diced pineapple to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple starts to caramelize slightly.
  1. Make the glaze:
  • Stir in the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and ground ginger. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

3. Combine the Salmon and Glaze:

  1. Return the salmon to the skillet:
  • Place the cooked salmon fillets back into the skillet with the pineapple glaze. Spoon the glaze over the salmon and cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm everything through and coat the salmon with the sauce.

4. Serve:

  1. Garnish and serve:
  • Transfer the honey pineapple salmon to plates and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
  1. Enjoy:
  • Serve with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
