Honey Pineapple Jalapeño Salmon

CoJo

Using fresh ingredients is how I roll.

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)

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 to 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 to 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.
