PINEAPPLE SALMON

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Coat both sides of salmon fillets with cooking spray and add to the hot pan. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip, cover, and cook for 4 minutes more.
• Whisk water, crushed pineapple, and 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce together in a bowl. Pour sauce over salmon; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 2 minutes.
• Stir pineapple preserves, chili sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons teriyaki sauce together. Spoon evenly over salmon, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for 1 to 2 minutes.

PINEAPPLE CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• In a measuring cup or small bowl combine first 6 ingredients (pineapple w/ juice - salt); set aside for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
• Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and then sprayed with Pam.
• Place fish fillets in pan skin side down leaving at least 1 inch between them.
• Top each fillet with pineapple mixture, evenly coating the top of the fish.
• Bake for 10 minutes per inch of fish thickness or until fish is cooked through but not dry.
• If topping is still moiste place fish under broiler for a minute or so or until excess moisture evaporates and fish starts color.

MAPLE-GLAZED SALMON WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons maple syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ginger in a bowl. Place salmon into the marinade and turn to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 30.
• For the glaze, mix remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup and Cajun seasoning together in a bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place salmon, skin side-down, and pineapple, onto the sheet and brush with the glaze.
• Broil in the preheated oven until salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (62 degrees C), 13 to 15 minutes.

PINEAPPLE CITRUS SALMON

Steps:

• Combine pineapple juice and 4 Tbs. lemon juice. Add in the salmon filets, cover and leave in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or foil and spray with cooking oil.
• Make a rub by combining in a bowl the brown sugar, chili powder, lemon zest, cumin, sea salt, and cinnamon. Reserve a tablespoon of rub.
• Remove the filets from the marinade (reserve marinade and add the reserved rub) and rub all sides generously with the brown sugar rub. I usually have just enough rub to do this, but you may find you need more or less rub depending on the size of the filets.
• Place the salmon filets on the prepared baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes nicely. After removing from oven, allow to sit for 5 minutes.
• While the salmon is baking and resting, make the sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan and add flour, sauteeing until all the mixture is well blended. Slowly whisk in the reserved marinade and rub. Allow to simmer gently until thickened. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
• Serve with fat rice and steamed or sauteed spinach with the sauce on the side.
• I understand that this salmon could be cooked on the grill, but I've never done this!
