Submitted by Kaylee J.

"Fresh ginger, tangy pineapple, colorful bell peppers, and moist spice-rubbed salmon. My family and I are in love with fish meals, especially when it comes to salmon so I find myself constantly making up new salmon recipes because I just can't get enough!"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 2 bell peppers
• 1 jalapeno
• 1⁄3 cup pineapple
• 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 tablespoon cilantro
• 1⁄3 cup green onion
• 1⁄2 lb salmon
• 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 lime

directions

1. preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
2. While it’s preheating prepare a baking pan for the salmon by placing a strip of tin foil on it for the salmon to be roasted inches.
3. Wash your fillets under water and pat dry with paper towels.
4. Combine the teriyaki, ginger, and garlic together and then rub into the unbaked salmon.
5. Place the fillet into the prepared baking pan.
6. Close the salmon into the tin foil creating a sort of basket for it to cook inches.
7. Bake the salmon for 16 minutes or until flaky when a fork is run over the top.
8. While the salmon is cooking you can work on your veggie topping.
9. Here's where the chopping and combining for the zesty vegetable melody comes in! This is where this dish will pick up some heat and acidity! Combine 1/3 cup of diced pineapple, 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice, the juice from 1/2 of a ripe lime, 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro, 1/3 cup of green onions (chopped), 2 diced and deseeded bell peppers (any color you want, I used one red and one yellow), 1/2 of a jalapeno finely diced and deseeded in a large mixing bowl.
10. heat up 1 tbs of olive oil in a large skillet.
11. Once the oil has set for about one minute add the pineapple and vegetable mixture you just made in the bowl to the skillet.
12. Cook on medium heat until the peppers are tender, and to your desired level of firmness. Make sure you are stirring it occasionally to reach desired texture and to prevent anything from overcooking in just one spot.
13. plate the fillets by topping it with the veggie melody and adding additional teriyaki if you want!
