Thai Pineapple Salmon with Chili-Hoisin Rice

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chili-Hoisin Rice:

• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon Marinade:
   In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then pour the marinade over the salmon. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Salmon and Pineapple:
   Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil, and cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove salmon, then add pineapple chunks to the pan and cook until caramelized (about 2 minutes). Set aside.
3. Prepare the Chili-Hoisin Rice:
   In a separate pan, heat sesame oil. Add cooked jasmine rice, hoisin sauce, and chili sauce, stirring until evenly mixed and heated through.
4. Serve:
   Place a portion of chili-hoisin rice on each plate, top with a salmon fillet and caramelized pineapple chunks. Garnish with green onions if desired.
