Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and ginger if using. Stir in red pepper flakes.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the greased baking dish. Season each fillet with salt and pepper.
  4. Scatter pineapple chunks around the salmon and pour the mixed glaze evenly over both.
  5. Bake for 16-20 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a caramelized finish, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure moisture retention.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve with lime wedges.
