    Teriyaki pineapple salmon gives you a delicious twist usual on a conventional seafood recipe. Enjoy fresh pan-seared salmon smothered in delicious sweet and tangy sauce topped with caramelized pineapple!

    We take our seafood consumption very seriously and have so many tasty fish recipes on the blog. From pan seared recipes such as Pan Seared Cod with Shallots and Fennel and Pan Seared Alaska Halibut to baked ones like Oven Baked Alaska Salmon and the easiest Baked Salmon Fillet with Lemon, we have a little something for everyone!

    Pineapple salmon with a teriyaki glaze

    This pineapple teriyaki salmon has become one of our favorites salmon recipes. The teriyaki sauce and pineapple pair well together and I love how it's ready in less than 30 minutes. This is an easy salmon recipe that anyone can make at home and the flavor is over the top. If you know someone who is skeptical about fish, ask them to try this salmon recipe. I promise they're going to love it!

    How to make pineapple salmon

    To make this salmon with pineapple, I pan-seared the salmon with only salt and pepper as the sauce is full of flavor. As the salmon is cooking, I make the sauce and then glaze the salmon. To make the sauce, I mixed teriyaki sauce, ginger and pineapple juice in a sauce pan and brought it to boil. Then I poured it over the salmon and let it cook for a couple of minutes and, as the fish is cooking, caramelize the pineapple using a little bit of the sauce. I served this teriyaki salmon with white rice but I bet it would also go well with mashed potatoes or steamed veggies!

    To make Baked Pineapple Salmon, preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray. Place a side of salmon or salmon pieces on the baking sheet and make the sauce by mixing teriyaki sauce, ginger and pineapple sauce in a sauce pan and bringing it to simmer. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes until it's reduced and brush it all over the salmon pieces. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and flaky. Serve warm with your favorite side dish. 

    How to store cooked salmon

    Salmon is best is served right away. However, if you have leftover salmon, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Cooked salmon doesn't freeze well so make sure you're making enough for a meal or two.

      We've been so active in the kitchen during quarantine. We have involved the kids in picking out recipes, and making them! We made this today and it was a hit with the entire family!

      I cook salmon teriyaki all the time, but your version is definitely better! We love pineapples at home, so from now on, I must make it with pineapples too. 🙂
