Hawaiian Glazed Salmon

Serves 2 people

Ingredients:

  • 2 (6 ounce) Salmon fillets, skin off
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons Sweet Chili Sauce (found in the Asian cooking section of the grocery store)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together mustard, lime juice, chili sauce, soy sauce, and pineapple juice to create marinade. Reserve about ¼ cup of marinade for later use. Pour remaining marinade mixture over salmon fillets in a plastic bag. Seal and marinate for 20-30 minutes in refrigerator.
  2. In a non-stick sauté pan, heat olive oil over high heat. Place salmon fillets in pan and sear approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Salmon will be slightly pink or medium on the inside. For more well done salmon, lower temperature to medium low and continue to cook longer. Remove from pan once salmon is your desired doneness.
  3. In the same pan, pour in reserved marinade. Allow marinade to come to a boil and slightly thicken (approximately 1-2 minutes), while stirring occasionally. Spoon over top of salmon as a glaze. Serve over rice or fresh salad.
