Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
For the Salmon
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets Choose fresh fillets for better flavor.
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks Use ripe pineapple for sweetness.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • to garnish Chopped green onions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
  2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the marinade, making sure they're evenly coated. Let it sit while you prepare the foil.
  3. Tear off four large pieces of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap around a fillet completely.
  4. On each piece of foil, place a salmon fillet in the center, then surround it with fresh pineapple chunks.
  5. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and pineapple, crimping the edges to create a sealed pouch.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Carefully unwrap the foil (watch out for steam!) and garnish your delicious salmon with chopped green onions. Enjoy it right away!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; simply reheat gently in the oven to maintain moisture and flavor.
