Maple-Glazed Salmon with Pineapple

Description

Broiled salmon is incredibly moist and tender and perfect for a weeknight meal. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon; I suggest checking for doneness after 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (such as Bragg®)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 (6 ounce) skin-on center-cut salmon fillets
  • ¼ teaspoon Cajun seasoning

  • 2 wedges lemon

  5. but no longer than 30.
  6. For the glaze
  7. mix remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup and Cajun seasoning together in a bowl. Set aside until ready to use.
  8. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler to low.
  9. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place salmon
  10. skin side-down
