Maple-Glazed Salmon with Pineapple
Description
Broiled salmon is incredibly moist and tender, perfect for a weeknight meal. Fresh pineapple adds a wonderful fruity flavor.
Ingredients
•
4 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
•
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (such as Bragg®)
•
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
•
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
•
2 (6 ounce) skin-on center-cut salmon fillets
•
1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
•
1 serving cooking spray
•
2 slices fresh pineapple, halved
•
2 wedges lemon
Directions
1
Combine 2 tablespoons maple syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ginger in a bowl. Place salmon into the marinade and turn to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 30.
2
For the glaze, mix remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup and Cajun seasoning together in a bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
3
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low.
4
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place salmon, skin side-down, and pineapple, onto the sheet and brush with the glaze.
5
Broil in the preheated oven until salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (62 degrees C), 13 to 15 minutes.
