Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh or canned
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salmon:
  • Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray. Season both sides of the salmon with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Make the Teriyaki Pineapple Glaze:
  • In a small saucepan, combine the teriyaki sauce and pineapple chunks. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to bubble. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
  • Coat the Salmon:
  • Brush the salmon fillets generously with the teriyaki pineapple glaze. Make sure to coat them evenly for that delicious flavour in every bite.
  • Bake the Salmon:
  • Place the glazed salmon fillets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
  • Broil for Extra Flavor (Optional):
  • If you want to add a beautiful caramelized finish to your salmon, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an extra touch of flavor and crunch. You can also garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Plate your Pineapple Teriyaki Salmon alongside your favorite sides. Steamed rice, quinoa, or a simple salad make excellent choices to complement the dish. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki pineapple glaze over the salmon for an extra burst of flavor.
