Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Salmon:
    • 4 salmon fillets
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    For the Cranberry-Pineapple Relish:

    • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
    • 1/2 cup pineapple, diced
    • 1/4 cup orange juice
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    • Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salmon Glaze:
    In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the glaze.
  • Cook the Salmon:
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  • Make the Cranberry-Pineapple Relish:
    In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, pineapple, orange juice, honey, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
  • Assemble:
    Plate the salmon and spoon the cranberry-pineapple relish over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.
  • Serve:
    Pair with roasted vegetables or wild rice for a complete holiday meal.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness of the relish by adding more or less honey to taste.
  • If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries work perfectly as a substitute.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or wild rice for a satisfying, healthy meal.
