Instructions

Remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple juice, honey (or maple syrup), coconut aminos, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk constantly as it comes to a gentle simmer
Allow the glaze to simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes until it reduces by half and becomes syrupy
Lightly brush the salmon fillets with avocado oil and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes
About 5 minutes before the salmon is finished cooking, brush the pineapple mixture over the top of each fillet
Remove the fish from the oven, let it rest for two minutes, and garnish with fresh cilantro

Notes

Using fresh ginger instead of powdered version for a more vibrant flavor.

Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
