🍯Ingredients
3lb slab of salmon cut in half
2 cans pineapple rings reserve 4 pineapple rings for the top of the salmon
2 tablespoons coconut oil or melted butter
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice, orange juice, or pineapple juice
2 1/2 tablespoons Fingerlakes Honey Company honey
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1-2 large garlic cloves
3-4 fresh mint leaves for garnish chopped
1 teaspoon of sea salt
3-4 turns of freshly cracked black peppercorn
🥣Directions
Remove salmon from packaging and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into two even pieces.
Take a length of aluminum foil or parchment paper and cover the bottom of a large sheet pan.
Place the pineapple rings on top of the foil in rows of 2, place the salmon on top of the pineapple rings.
Chop the remaining pineapple rings and add them to a bowl.
Into the bowl with the pineapple, complete the marinade by adding melted butter, sesame oil, lemon juice, honey, light brown sugar, minced garlic clove, and salt. Mix well.
Using a spoon, spread the marinade over the top of the salmon, making sure it gets onto the salmon's entire surface. Allow the fish to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes but no longer than a maximum of 30 minutes in the fridge.
Place the sheet pan with the salmon into the oven on the center rack, and bake for forty (40) minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 ° F. *Cook the salmon to your liking, which may range from cooking the salmon from a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of 40 minutes. To minimize the salmon from drying out, place a length of foil over the salmon to help retain moisture.
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for ten (10) minutes.
Garnish with fresh mint, optional
Serve.
