Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting your salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, pineapple juice (or crushed pineapple), soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), freshly squeezed lime juice, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth.
  3. Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully add the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Once seared, gently pour the prepared glaze over the salmon fillets. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for an additional 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens and salmon is opaque throughout.
  5. Carefully transfer the glazed salmon to plates and spoon any extra glaze from the skillet on top. Garnish with optional toppings and serve.
