Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 lb salmon fillet (about 1.1 kg)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can pineapple slices, drained (reserve 1/4 cup juice)
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- Lime slices, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides and place it in the center of the sheet.
- Arrange pineapple slices underneath and around the salmon.
- In a bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, melted butter, hoisin sauce, garlic, lemon juice, and ¼ cup reserved pineapple juice.
- Pour or brush the sauce over the salmon.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until the salmon is just flaky and cooked through.
- Optional: Broil 2–5 more minutes until glaze edges are caramelized.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Using pineapple slices (vs. chunks) prevents excess moisture and keeps presentation tidy.
- Line the sheet with foil or spray it for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Ensure the salmon lies flat—cut and reposition if needed for even cooking.
