Ingredients
  

  • 2 salmon fillets 6 ounces each
  • 3/4 cup pineapple tidbits drained
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • Fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it. Place the salmon in a shallow container.
    Aluminum baking sheet with parchment paper and silicone pastry brush for baking preparation.
  • In a bowl, mix together the pineapple tidbits, pineapple juice, melted butter, honey, light brown sugar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and soy sauce.
    Cream of potato soup with spices in a glass bowl topped with paprika and black pepper.
  • Pour the marinade evenly over the salmon fillets and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Remove the salmon from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Transfer marinade to a saucepan. Simmer over medium-high, stirring often, until reduced by half, about 4-7 minutes. Brush generously over the salmon.
  • Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, brushing more marinade sauce on the salmon halfway through cooking. Cook the fish until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve the salmon warm with your favorite side dish.
