Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1.5 cups Fresh pineapple chunks
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic cloves to make the glaze.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Drizzle the maple glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use a brush or spoon to spread the glaze if needed.

Step 5

Season the fillets with salt and black pepper. Arrange the fresh pineapple chunks around the salmon on the baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be caramelized and sticky.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 8

Serve the maple glazed salmon hot with the roasted pineapple chunks on the side. Optionally, pair with steamed rice or your favorite green vegetables for a complete meal.
