Ingredients

  • 1 pound salmon fillet or trout, deboned
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced/grated
  • 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced/grated
  • 1 pineapple sliced (about 10 ¼ inch thick slices)
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons peanuts roasted, chopped

Instructions

  • Arrange the pineapple slices in a single, even layer on a greased or foil lined baking sheet. Keep the slices close together so they form a juicy “bed” for the fish.
  • Set the salmon fillet (or trout) directly on top of the pineapple. If the fillet is thick, you can portion it into serving-size pieces for more even cooking.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the sweet chili sauce, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and fish sauce until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  • Brush the sauce generously over the top and sides of the fish, letting a little drip down onto the pineapple for extra flavor.
  • Bake in a preheated 400F/200C oven until just cooked, about 10-15 minutes. The fish should turn opaque and flake easily with a fork, but still look moist in the center.
  • Finish by sprinkling the peanuts and cilantro over the top, then serve right away while the glaze is glossy and the pineapple is warm.
  • Option: Garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
  • Option: Replace the chopped peanuts with toasted sesame seeds.
