Honey Pineapple Glazed Salmon

Honey Pineapple Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sliced pineapple and chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, pineapple juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
3. Prepare Salmon: Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
4. Apply Glaze: Brush the honey pineapple glaze generously over the salmon fillets, saving some glaze for basting later.

6. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven. Optionally, garnish with sliced pineapple and chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
