Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, lightly spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Arrange the drained pineapple slices around the salmon.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice until well combined. Pour the glaze over the salmon and pineapple.
