Instructions
Creating Pineapple Glazed Salmon is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Preheat the Oven: While the salmon is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Bake the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for later use. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
5. Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the reserved marinade over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Glaze the Salmon: After baking, remove the salmon from the oven and brush the thickened glaze over each fillet.
7. Broil for Extra Flavor: Optional – for a caramelized finish, broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
Following these steps will ensure that your Pineapple Glazed Salmon turns out perfectly each time.
