🍍 Honey Pineapple Salmon 🐟

A Sweet Escape in Every Bite - Perfect for a Healthy Family Dinner!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce 
- 1 cup pineapple chunks for serving
- 1/4 cup honey 
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice 
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- 4 salmon fillets 
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish 
- Lemon wedges for serving 

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil.
2. In a small bowl, create the marinade by whisking together the honey, pineapple juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and grated ginger if desired.
3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes if time permits, to infuse more flavor.
4. Transfer the marinated salmon onto the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is thoroughly cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
5. To serve, garnish the baked salmon with fresh pineapple chunks and a sprinkle of cilantro or parsley. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon from the lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
