Salmon With Fresh Pineapple Salsa

I don't remember where I learned to make this, but I'm sure I must have changed the recipe somewhat. This is my favorite way to fix salmon. The salmon can be prepared in any way. Grilling it is also wonderful! The preparation time includes the time to chill the salsa.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 40 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• Salsa

• 1  cup  coarsely chopped fresh pineapple
• 1⁄2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
• 1⁄4 cup red onion, chopped
• 3  tablespoons lime juice
• 1  tablespoon cilantro, minced
• 1  tablespoon honey
• 2  small  jalapeno peppers, finely minced
• 1⁄2-1  teaspoon  garlic salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  hot sauce (I like Cholula)

• Salmon

• 3⁄4 lb salmon fillet
• 1  tablespoon lime juice
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  garlic salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

1. For salsa, in a medium bowl, combine pineapple, pepper, onion, 3 T lime juice, cilantro, honey, jalapenos, garlic salt, and hot sauce.
2. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 450°.
4. Place salmon, skin side down, on a piece of foil, sprinkle with lime juice, garlic salt, and cumin, then put the foil on a rimmed cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
6. Remove salmon from the skin (This is easy - the skin just sticks to the foil!) and serve topped with salsa.
