Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic cloves to make the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the maple glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use a brush or spoon to spread the glaze if needed.
Season the fillets with salt and black pepper. Arrange the fresh pineapple chunks around the salmon on the baking sheet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be caramelized and sticky.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the maple glazed salmon hot with the roasted pineapple chunks on the side. Optionally, pair with steamed rice or your favorite green vegetables for a complete meal.
