Pineapple Glazed Salmon

Print Recipe

A bright and easy pineapple glazed salmon, perfect for weeknights or entertaining. This dish pairs sweet pineapple with savory soy sauce for a delightful flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, approximately 6 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple, diced and well drained
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon fillets without overcrowding.
  2. Whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger (if using) to create your glaze.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet all over with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
  4. Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down into your prepared baking dish.
  5. Spoon about two-thirds of the pineapple glaze mixture evenly over each salmon fillet. Scatter the diced pineapple around the salmon in the dish.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. If desired, broil the salmon for 1 to 2 minutes after baking for a caramelized glaze, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove the dish from the oven and let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm with the pan juices and pineapple.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. Great in salads or tacos.
