Honey Baked Salmon Recipe (with Pineapple Salsa)

honey baked salmon recipe

Bought a huge pineapple to make Pineapple Chicken earlier but wasn’t able to use all up so I made a pineapple salsa with the leftovers as a side dish to go with my baked salmon lunch. Flavours worked perfectly in this dish. While the honey baked salmon tasted more on the sweet side, the tangy pineapple salsa gave it a nice refreshing note. I served the salmon and salsa over a bed of mashed steamed sweet potato just to keep the dish healthy and lower in GI. Try it!
