Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Honey Pineapple Glaze:

  • ½ cup fresh pineapple chunks or canned, drained
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for a spicy kick)

Garnish (optional):

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside while preparing the glaze.
  2. Prepare the honey pineapple glaze: In a small saucepan, combine pineapple chunks, honey, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha if using. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly and the pineapple begins to caramelize.
  3. Cook the salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down if applicable and cook for 4–5 minutes without moving them, allowing a crispy skin to form.
  4. Glaze and finish cooking: Flip the salmon fillets carefully and brush them generously with the honey pineapple glaze. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, basting with more glaze as needed, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve: Transfer the salmon to plates, spoon extra glaze and caramelized pineapple over the top, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges, and serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Fresh pineapple is preferred for the best flavor but canned pineapple chunks drained well also work well.
  • If you prefer a milder sauce, omit the sriracha or reduce the amount to taste.
  • Salmon cooking times may vary based on thickness; ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F for safe consumption.
  • To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • The glaze can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat gently before using.
