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 olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh pineapple slices, for grilling (optional)
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, pineapple juice, soy sauce, olive oil, 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 mixture over them, reserving the other half for later. Let the salmon marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
- If using fresh pineapple slices, brush them lightly with olive oil and set aside.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved honey-pineapple mixture during the last few minutes of cooking. If using pineapple slices, grill them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear.
- Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the salmon garnished with chopped green onions and grilled pineapple slices, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute the salmon with chicken breasts or tofu for a different protein option.
