Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned pineapple, drained)

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or ½ teaspoon ground ginger)

1 teaspoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking oil.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

        Add Pineapple: After marinating, spread the fresh pineapple chunks around the salmon in the baking dish, allowing some of the marinade to mix in for extra flavor.

          Bake Salmon: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for a fresh touch.

              Plating: Serve the baked pineapple salmon with the roasted pineapple on the side, along with your favorite sides like steamed rice or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
