Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together light brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger until smooth.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, rub with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon skin-side down in the baking dish and pour two-thirds of the glaze over each fillet, sprinkling diced pineapple around.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Optional: Broil for 1 to 2 minutes for a caramelized finish, but watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Allow the salmon to rest for about 5 minutes to redistribute juices before serving.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and drizzle with remaining glaze, serving alongside rice or roasted asparagus.
