# Ingredients:
01 -
1 lb salmon fillet
02 -
1 cup pineapple juice
03 -
2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo, minced
04 -
1/4 cup honey
05 -
2 tbsp soy sauce
06 -
1 tbsp lime juice
07 -
1 tsp garlic powder
08 -
1/2 tsp salt
09 -
1/4 tsp black pepper
10 -
1 tbsp olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
02 -
In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, minced chipotle peppers in adobo, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to a glaze consistency.
03 -
While the glaze is simmering, pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper if desired.
04 -
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and sear for 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
05 -
Brush the top and sides of the salmon generously with the prepared pineapple chipotle glaze. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillet, until the salmon is just cooked through but still moist.
06 -
Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute or two. Serve the salmon with additional glaze drizzled over the top.
# Notes:
01 -
The internal temperature of properly cooked salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
02 -
You can adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the spice level.
03 -
This glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
04 -
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the seared salmon to a baking dish for the oven step.
