Pineapple Sweet Chili Salmon

[heart_this] · Oct 12, 2020 · 8 Comments

Pineapple Sweet Chili Salmon

A super quick and easy salmon baked in sweet chili sauce on a bed of pineapple, garnished with chopped peanuts!

I like to have a number of quick and easy recipe ideas on hand, especially ones that are on the healthier side, and it’s hard to beat a simple baked salmon recipe like this baked pineapple sweet chili salmon! This recipe is as easy as placing some pineapple slices down on a baking sheet, topped with the salmon fillet, before smothering it in a tasty sweet chili sauce, and baking it! It only takes 15-20 minutes to bake, during which you could make some rice and/or steam a vegetable to go with it, and when it’s done it’s garnished with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro. There is something magical about the sweet chili and peanut flavour combo, that’s even better when salmon and juicy pineapple! Yum!

    Hi Kevin, Making this for our dinner tonight as it sounds wonderful, but for convenience sake I’m replacing the fresh pineapple with canned “unsweetened – THIN” slices drained and hoping it will be just as lovely tasting as your version. Thank you for posting this as we love salmon and trout and coming into our Australian summer now I’ll be using this recipe quite often.
