Spicy Pineapple Teriyaki Salmon

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together the pineapple chunks, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and garlic to make the teriyaki marinade.
  2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the salmon, making sure to coat each fillet. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place them in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
  4. While the salmon is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Serve the cooked salmon with the thickened teriyaki sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy your Spicy Pineapple Teriyaki Salmon!
