Description
Baked Pineapple Salmon is a flavorful dish that combines tender salmon fillets with a sweet and tangy pineapple marinade, creating a deliciously unique meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned pineapple, drained)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or ½ teaspoon ground ginger)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- After marinating, spread the fresh pineapple chunks around the salmon in the baking dish, allowing some of the marinade to mix in for extra flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for a fresh touch.
- Serve the baked pineapple salmon with the roasted pineapple on the side, along with your favorite sides like steamed rice or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the level of sweetness by adding more or less honey based on your preference.
- This dish pairs well with a variety of sides such as rice, quinoa, or a light salad.
- Make sure to check the salmon for doneness, as cooking times may vary based on thickness.
