Ingredients
2–2½ lb salmon fillets
1 can pineapple slices in juice (reserve ¼ cup juice)
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
1 tbsp brown sugar
¼ cup reserved pineapple juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place on the foil-lined sheet and surround with pineapple slices.
In a bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice.
Pour glaze evenly over salmon and pineapple.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until salmon is almost cooked through.
Switch oven to broil for 4–5 minutes to caramelize the top and edges.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot.
Notes
For extra spice, add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the glaze.
Use fresh pineapple if preferred—watch closely under broiler.
Great served with rice, orzo, roasted vegetables, or in tacos or bowls.
Leftover salmon is ideal for flaking into tacos or rice bowls.
