For the Teriyaki Salmon:

2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional, for extra brightness)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for added warmth)

 Instructions: How to Make Saumon Teriyaki à l’Ananas Grillé

Prepare the Teriyaki Marinade

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice (if using). Whisk everything together until smooth and the honey is completely dissolved.

Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour the marinade over the fillets, making sure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to let the flavors infuse.

Grill the Pineapple

While the salmon is marinating, prepare the pineapple. If you haven’t done so already, peel and cut the pineapple into thick rings or wedges.

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the pineapple slices lightly with honey and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon (optional). Place the pineapple on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until you see nice grill marks and the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Once done, remove from the grill and set aside.

Grill the Teriyaki Salmon

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down (if using skin-on fillets). Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should easily flake with a fork when it’s cooked through.

As the salmon grills, occasionally brush the remaining teriyaki marinade onto the fillets for extra flavor and moisture. Be careful not to overcook the salmon—it should still be moist and tender inside.

Assemble the Dish

To serve, place a grilled pineapple ring or wedge on each plate, then top with a grilled salmon fillet. Drizzle any leftover teriyaki sauce over the salmon and garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and extra flavor.

 Serving Suggestions

This Saumon Teriyaki à l’Ananas Grillé pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. Here are a few ideas:

Steamed Rice: Serve the salmon and grilled pineapple over a bed of jasmine rice or brown rice to soak up all the delicious sauce.

Sautéed Vegetables: Lightly sautéed vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or bok choy are a perfect complement to the richness of the salmon and the sweetness of the pineapple.

Asian Slaw: A tangy and crunchy cabbage slaw with sesame dressing would add a refreshing contrast to the grilled fish.

Grilled Asparagus: Grilled asparagus with a touch of lemon zest would pair beautifully with the smoky grilled flavors in the dish.
