Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Notes
- Fresh chunks provide better texture and flavor than canned varieties.
- Salmon continues cooking after removing from oven, so slightly underdone is perfect.
- The skin helps hold the fish together during baking.
- Allow salmon to rest 3-4 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
- Add more honey if you prefer sweeter glaze, or reduce for subtle flavor.
