Honey Pineapple Jalapeño Salmon
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
2 tbsp jalapeños, sliced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 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)
Instructions:
Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
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.
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.
Make Sauce: In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add Pineapple and Jalapeños: Stir in the pineapple chunks and sliced jalapeños. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
Combine: Return the cooked salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets to coat them in the sticky, sweet, and spicy sauce.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot with your favorite side dish.
Enjoy: Relish the sweet and spicy flavors of your Honey Pineapple Jalapeño Salmon!
