For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a touch of heat. If you don't have fresh pineapple, canned pineapple rings (packed in juice, not syrup) can be substituted. Be sure to drain them well before broiling. The marinade also works well with other types of fish, such as cod or halibut. Adjust cooking time accordingly. Serve with a side of quinoa or roasted vegetables for a complete and healthy meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ginger. (2 minutes)
02
StepPlace the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, and up to 30 minutes. (15-30 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate small bowl, prepare the glaze by combining the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup with the Cajun seasoning. Set aside. (1 minute)
04
StepPosition an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to low. (5 minutes)
05
StepLine a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
06
StepRemove the salmon from the marinade and gently pat dry with paper towels. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and pineapple slices onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush both the salmon and pineapple with the maple-Cajun glaze. (3 minutes)
07
StepBroil in the preheated oven until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (62 degrees C), approximately 13 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (13-15 minutes)
08
