A quick and easy grilled salmon recipe featuring a sweet and tangy teriyaki pineapple glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the grill, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each, skin on)
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple juice (120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Pineapple Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to get grill marks.
  5. Flip the salmon carefully using a wide spatula.
  6. Brush the salmon generously with the teriyaki pineapple glaze. Continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes, brushing once or twice more, until salmon flakes easily and glaze is caramelized.
  7. Remove salmon from grill and let rest for 2 minutes.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Brush the glaze on after flipping the salmon to prevent burning the sugars. Oil the grill grates and salmon well to prevent sticking. If glaze burns before salmon is cooked, lower heat or move to cooler part of grill. The glaze can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored refrigerated.
