Notes

Feel free to experiment with substitutions, such as using honey or teriyaki sauce instead. For a special touch, try grilling the pineapple for a smoky flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, use the oven to maintain texture. To make the dish healthier, use wild-caught salmon and pair it with steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious juices. Enjoy!
