Description
A delightful recipe for Honey Pineapple Salmon that combines sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper.
- Add the diced pineapple to the marinade, stirring gently to coat.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them, reserving the other half for later. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- If grilling, place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes, brushing with the reserved marinade halfway through. If baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade halfway through.
- Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, remove it from the heat.
- Serve the salmon topped with the grilled pineapple and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve with a side of steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.
