Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped (or canned, drained) Choose fresh for best flavor.
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version)
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust to taste.
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Salmon
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets (fresh or thawed)
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • fresh cilantro optional, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together the chopped pineapple, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, onion, and minced garlic. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
  2. Flip the salmon fillets gently, then pour the pineapple sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 4-6 minutes, basting the fillets with the sauce occasionally until cooked through.
Serving
  1. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
