Irresistible Grilled Pineapple Salmon

A vibrant grilled salmon dish topped with caramelized pineapple, bright cilantro, and lime, balanced with a savory honey-soy marinade.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fillets (6-8 oz each) Salmon, skin-on recommended for grilling
  • 1 cup Fresh pineapple, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil, extra-virgin for flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low-sodium recommended
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, allowing grates to heat for consistent searing.
  2. Mix olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl until well combined.
  3. Brush salmon fillets generously with the marinade, ensuring even coverage across the flesh.
  4. Let salmon sit for ten minutes to absorb surface flavors without over-marinating.
  5. Skewer diced pineapple evenly or place small pieces into a grill basket.
  6. Brush pineapple lightly with leftover marinade for caramelization.
  7. Place pineapple on the grill and cook for two to three minutes until caramelized.
  8. Position salmon skin-side down and grill for four to five minutes until grill marks form.
  9. Flip salmon once and grill an additional four to five minutes until cooked through.
  10. Remove both salmon and pineapple, resting for two minutes before plating.
  11. Top each salmon fillet with grilled pineapple, squeeze lime juice over, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

Choose firm, evenly thick salmon fillets; pat dry before marinating; monitor pineapple closely while grilling.
