Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 fillets salmon fillets
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks Canned pineapple can be used if needed.
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- to taste Salt and pepper
- to taste Fresh basil or cilantro For garnishing, optional.
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Marinade
- In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic. Whisk until well mixed.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish, pour the honey mixture over them, and toss in the pineapple chunks. Let them marinate for about 10–15 minutes.
Cooking
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily.
- During the last minute of cooking, toss in the marinated pineapple chunks to caramelize them.
Serving
- Serve the salmon topped with warm pineapple and garnish with fresh basil or cilantro.
Notes
Don’t overcook the salmon; it can dry out quickly. For a twist, try adding other fruits like mango or peach.
