# How to Make It:
01 -
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
02 -
Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down if using skin-on. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip fillets and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes until nearly cooked through. Transfer salmon to a plate and set aside.
03 -
Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add honey, soy sauce, pineapple juice, minced garlic, lime juice, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir continuously and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until the glaze thickens slightly.
04 -
Return salmon to the skillet and spoon the glaze generously over each fillet. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, basting with the sauce, until the salmon is cooked through and beautifully glazed.
05 -
In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and allow to rest for 5 minutes for the flavours to meld.
06 -
Serve the glazed salmon over your preferred base such as rice or quinoa. Drizzle with extra glaze and top with pineapple salsa if desired. Enjoy immediately.
