  • 1/2 cup Sweet Chili Sauce Offers a sweet and mildly spicy flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Melted; olive oil can substitute.
  • 4 tablespoons Hoisin Sauce Introduces depth with sweet and savory notes.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice Opt for freshly squeezed!
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced; fresh garlic significantly elevates taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
  2. Place the salmon fillet onto the prepared baking sheet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange the drained pineapple slices beneath the salmon on the baking sheet.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, melted butter, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and reserved pineapple juice. Whisk together.
  5. Pour the sauce over the salmon fillet, ensuring it seeps into the pineapple slices.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through. Optionally broil for 5 minutes for charred edges.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime slices on the side.
