Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup (diced) pineapple
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 4 slices orange slices
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, orange zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Arrange the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Pour the prepared marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle the diced pineapple evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
Place one slice of orange and one slice of lemon on top of each salmon fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Discard the citrus slices before serving, if desired.
Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice, quinoa, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
