Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lime

For the Pineapple Salsa:

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for less heat)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    - In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

      - Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

        Prepare the Pineapple Salsa:

          - In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and taste, adjusting seasoning as necessary. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

            Preheat the Grill:

              - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.

                Grill the Salmon:

                  - Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.

                    - Lightly oil the grill grates or the grill pan. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness.

                      Serve:

                        - Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter and top generously with the pineapple salsa. You can serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.

                          Enjoy:

                            - Pair your tropical grilled salmon with your favorite side dish, such as grilled vegetables, quinoa, or rice. Enjoy this delightful dish full of flavor and freshness!
