Think pineapple and salmon don't match? This Salmon Fillet with Caramelized Pineapple will prove you wrong! I bet they'll become one of your favorite pairs!
Before you start cooking your fish, make sure that all your ingredients are ready to go: pineapple, bell pepper and red onion chopped and all the ingredients for the sauce mixed together well in a small bowl or measuring cup.
Then, place one of your oven racks to the top position and set the oven to broil.
Heat a teaspoon or so of cooking fat or oil in a heavy bottomed skillet (cast iron preferred) set over very high heat.
Brush the fish fillets with a little bit of toasted sesame oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Once the pan is scorching hot, carefully place the fillets in, skin side down; cook for about 2 minutes, or until the skin gets really crispy. Remove the fillets to an oven safe baking dish and place them right under the boiler until the top becomes golden and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the skillet back over the heat source and add the pineapple, bell pepper and red onions to it. Cook, over high heat still, until the pineapple is caramelized, about 2 minutes. Add the sauce and continue cooking until it's reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 30 seconds.
Transfer to a serving plate and top with the salmon fillets; serve immediately.
