Honey pineapple salmon

• Pineapple chunks (grilled or fresh)
• Chopped cilantro or parsley
• Lime wedges
• Cooked jasmine rice or coconut rice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Salmon:
   In a bowl, mix pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Place the salmon in a ziplock bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
2. Sear the Salmon:
   Heat a nonstick or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade (reserve the marinade). Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the Glaze:
   In the same pan, pour the reserved marinade. Simmer on low until thickened into a glaze (about 5–8 minutes), stirring often. Return salmon briefly to coat with the glaze.
4. Serve:
   Plate the salmon with grilled pineapple, fresh herbs, and rice. Drizzle glaze on top. Add a lime wedge for a zesty finish.
