Make this simple, sweet, and savory honey pineapple glazed salmon for a quick weeknight dinner. This recipe uses common pantry staples for a tropical flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the honey dissolves.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the drained crushed pineapple, cornstarch, and cold water until smooth.
  5. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering glaze mixture, whisking constantly. Continue to cook for about 1 minute until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  6. Brush about half of the glaze mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets. Reserve the remaining glaze for serving.
  7. Bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the tops with a little more of the reserved glaze.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with the extra warm glaze on the side.

Notes

  • For a grilled pineapple salmon, cook over medium heat for 4-6 minutes per side, brushing with glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a stickier glaze, reduce the glaze mixture slightly longer on the stovetop before brushing.
  • This recipe works well as a sheet pan meal; add asparagus or broccoli florets to the pan during the last 10 minutes of baking.
