Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper optional, for easy cleanup
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk
  • Paper towel

Ingredients
  

Salmon

  • 1 lb salmon skinned and cut into filets
  • salt
  • pepper

Glaze

  • 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño seeds removed
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Pineapple

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh preferred

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pat your salmon filets dry with a paper towel and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, finely chopped jalapeño, minced garlic, and paprika. Give it a good stir until it's all combined into a beautiful, glossy glaze.
  • Arrange your seasoned salmon filets on a baking sheet. I like to line mine with parchment paper for super easy cleanup!
  • Spoon that delicious maple glaze evenly over each salmon filet. Make sure every piece gets a good coating!
  • Scatter the pineapple chunks around the salmon on the baking sheet. They'll get all sweet and toasty in the oven.
  • Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. You'll know it's done when the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be bubbly and slightly caramelized.
