Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Honey Pineapple Glazed Salmon that combines sweet and savory flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, pineapple juice, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and ground ginger until well combined.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the honey-pineapple glaze over them, reserving the other half for later. Let the salmon marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
- If grilling, place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes. Brush with the reserved glaze halfway through cooking. If baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, brushing with the reserved glaze halfway through.
- The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the salmon from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- You can also substitute the salmon with chicken breasts for a different protein option.
- Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
