Angie’s Honey Jalapeño Pineapple Salmon

4 SALMON FILLETS |  PREP TIME: 45 MIN  |  COOK TIME: 10-12 MIN 

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • ½ cup pineapple chunks
  • 2 tbsp. jalapeños, sliced
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Prepare marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
  2. Marinate salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for a least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook salmon: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the marinade.
  4. Sear salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice sear. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Make sauce: In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add pineapple and jalapeños: Stir in the pineapple chunks and sliced jalapeños. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
  7. Combine: Return the cooked salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets to coat them in the sticky, sweet, and spicy sauce.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot with your favorite side dish.
