Maple Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

• •½ cup maple syrup
• •2 T. Dijon mustard
• •4 6-oz. salmon fillets
• •1½ tsp. kosher salt
• •½ tsp. black pepper
• •½ fresh pineapple (a can of sliced pineapple works)
• •1 jalapeño (seeded and finely sliced)
• •serve with white rice

Instructions

1. Whisk together the maple syrup and mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Heat broiler. Place the salmon in a foil-lined 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Season with the salt and pepper.
3. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter into ½-inch-thick triangles. Scatter the pineapple and jalapeño on the salmon. If using canned pineapple, spread slices evenly over salmon, cut circles in half for better coverage.
4. Brush the salmon with the syrup mixture and broil for 5 to 7 minutes or until it flakes easily and is the same color throughout. Use a meat thermometer to check for internal temperature of 120°F.
5. Serve the salmon and pineapple and drizzle with the remaining glaze, if desired.
