Ingredients
- 3 lb slab of salmon, skin removed.
- 1 pineapple, cut into rings
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
- Use 8 rings of pineapple to form two rows on the pan.
- Place salmon on top of pineapple rings. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper.
- Dice up remaining pineapple and place in medium sized bowl.
- Add melted butter, teriyaki, lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic to bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Pour mixture over salmon.
- Drizzle sesame oil over the salmon. At this point, you can place the salmon in the refrigerator until ready to cook and serve.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes on the center rack of the oven. Salmon should reach an internal temp of 145 degrees F. when done. Use a meat thermometer to ensure you don't overcook the salmon.
Notes
If using smaller filets rather than one slab of salmon, you'll need to adjust the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer!
