Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillet
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 cup pineapple, diced
- 0.5 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 0.25 red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the maple glaze generously over each piece of salmon.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, chopped red bell pepper, chopped red onion, and cilantro.
Add the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the pineapple mixture. Toss well to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the maple glazed salmon warm with a generous helping of pineapple salsa on top or on the side. Enjoy!
