Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 8 rings (fresh or canned) pineapple slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole (cut into wedges for serving) lime
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) cilantro
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Brush the pineapple rings with olive oil, and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
While grilling the salmon, add the pineapple rings to the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and have nice grill marks.
Step 8
Remove both the salmon and pineapple from the grill. Let the salmon rest for a minute or two before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled salmon with two pineapple rings per plate. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salmon, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Step 10
Enjoy your Grilled Maple Salmon with Pineapple as a delicious and nutritious meal!
