Ingredients
  

For the salmon
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1.5 lb salmon skin-on, cut into 4 portions
  • 0.5 tsp salt kosher
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
For the glaze
  • 0.5 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp ginger grated fresh

Equipment

  • 1 rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

Prepare the salmon
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  3. Lightly coat the foil with the olive oil.
  4. Pat the salmon dry and arrange it skin-side down on the baking sheet.
  5. Season the salmon with the salt and black pepper.
Make the glaze and bake
  1. Combine the pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan.
  2. Simmer over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  3. Brush the glaze over the salmon.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 145°F and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

For the best texture, pat the salmon dry before seasoning. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; cooked salmon can be frozen. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
