Print Recipe

Super fresh, healthy, and delicious pineapple salsa served over a bed of rice, salmon, and a yummy sauce with a very slight kick to even out the sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Pineapple salsa–

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced small

3/4 cup red bell pepper, diced small (about half a pepper)

1/3 cup red onion, diced small

3 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped fine

1 jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, diced small

Juice of 1 lime

1/4 teaspoon salt

Pineapple sauce-

1 tablespoon corn starch

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup pineapple juice

Juice of 1 lime

1/3 cup honey

1 teaspoon sriracha (or 1/2 teaspoon if you don’t want a kick)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger

For salmon–

Salt

Pepper

Olive oil

About 1 pound of salmon, cut into 4 fillets

To serve-

2 cups of dry rice cooked to package directions. (I use sushi rice because I love a good sticky rice with this dish)

Instructions

Pineapple salsa-

Combine all the fruits and vegetables in a small mixing bowl. Juice the lime over it and sprinkle the salt on. Toss till combined.

Pineapple salsa-

In a small sauce pan whisk together the corn starch, soy sauce, pineapple juice, and lime juice. Put on the stove over medium heat and add the rest of the ingredients. Whisk frequently till sauce comes to a simmer and sauce thickens. Remove from stove and set aside.

For Salmon-

Pat salmon till it’s very dry and generously salt and pepper the salmon. Drizzle oil over both sides of the salmon and either using your fingers or a pastry brush spread the oil so it gets evenly distributed.

You can cook the salmon on a grill for a few minutes per side, on the stove in a non-stick pan over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, on a counter grill (like a George Forman type grill), or even in the oven if you’d like to. Just try to not over-cook the salmon or it will be dry and fall apart easier. Salmon doesn’t take that long to cook.

To serve-

Scoop rice into a bowl, place a salmon filet over it followed by a generous spoonful of the pineapple salsa. Drizzle the sauce over and enjoy.

Notes

Best eaten on the day it’s made. Use sushi rice if you have it!
