Notes

For added flavor, marinate the salmon in half the sauce for 15 minutes before baking. Fresh pineapple can be used instead of canned, and grilling it first adds an extra charred flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, reheating gently to avoid dryness. Cold pineapple glazed salmon also tastes great straight from the fridge.
