HONEY PINEAPPLE SALMON
This Honey Pineapple Salmon features tender salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and tangy honey pineapple sauce. It’s easy to make, flavorful, and perfect for a quick, healthy dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pineapple chunks optional, for garnish
- Fresh parsley or green onions optional, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
Cook Salmon:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Cook salmon skin-side down for 4–5 minutes until crispy, then flip.
Add Sauce:
- Pour the pineapple sauce over the salmon. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5–7 minutes, spooning sauce over the salmon as it cooks. The sauce will thicken slightly.
Serve:
- Remove salmon from heat. Garnish with pineapple chunks and fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.
