Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pineapple Glazed Salmon
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and rub each fillet generously with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between each piece.
  5. Spoon about two-thirds of the prepared glaze over each salmon fillet, coating them generously. Scatter diced pineapple around the fillets.
  6. Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  7. For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  8. Let the salmon rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and drizzle pan juices over the top.
