- 4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, optional
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Arrange the salmon in the baking dish and scatter the pineapple chunks around the fillets.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic, lime juice, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the glaze and cook for 1–2 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Brush about half of the glaze generously over the salmon.
- Bake for 10–14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
- Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze.
- Broil for 1–2 minutes until the salmon is caramelized and the pineapple edges are lightly browned.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm with rice or roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Brush the salmon with glaze several times during cooking for a deeper, stickier caramelized coating.
