Description
Learn how to make delicious Sweet Pineapple Honey Salmon. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Feel free to substitute the fresh pineapple with canned pineapple if that’s what you have on hand—just be sure to drain it well. If you’re out of fresh ginger, ground ginger can work in a pinch, though fresh is always preferred for that zingy freshness.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the honey mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
- Scatter the pineapple chunks around the salmon on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Keep an eye out for a golden glaze on the top, a sign that the honey has caramelized beautifully.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley before serving, if desired.
This dish is a testament to how simple ingredients can come together to create something truly satisfying. It’s a tip I picked up from my college days, when turning basic pantry items into something extraordinary was a weekly challenge.
