Description
Honey Pineapple Salmon is a sweet and flavorful dish that combines the richness of salmon with a delicious pineapple and honey marinade.
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 garlic, minced
- 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, combine the diced pineapple, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Reserve the other half of the marinade for basting and serving.
- If grilling, place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade halfway through. If baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the salmon with the remaining pineapple mixture spooned over the top and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
