Pineapple Teriyaki Salmon {plus a Spring Entertaining Giveaway!}

By Chris Cockren 60 Comments

pineapple teriyaki salmon with pineapple habanero salsa

A super flavorful, lightning fast weeknight dinner recipe for Pineapple Teriyaki Salmon topped with Pineapple Habanero Salsa!

I’m beyond pumped.  It’s Friday.  It’s the last school day before our week-long spring break.  And, the icing on the cake… it’s time for a sweet spring entertaining giveaway!  More on that below.  But, first…

There are big plans for this upcoming week off.  Recipes will be tested.  Boxes will be packed (we sold our house and are officially in contract.  Woot!).  And entertaining will happen frequently.

We love to entertain.  In fact, the whole reason (well, most of the reason) we are moving is so that we can find a home with an open floor plan that will allow us to host large holiday dinners and have all our friends over for legendary parties.

One thing that I have never made when entertaining, though.  Fish.  I blame my dad.  He refused to eat it, so my mom never made it.  And even though I’ll happily order seafood out at a restaurant, it’s yet to infiltrate my cooking all that much.

Until now.  I’m a man on a mission.  Cook and eat fish, once a week.  Because really, when we entertain, I want to be able to make some impressive dishes using fish and not get all anxious and worried about whether or not I know what I’m doing.  So, time to start practicing.

This recipe really couldn’t be simpler.  I mean, heck, if I can pull it off and it’s like, my 3rd time ever cooking with seafood, I’m fairly confident most people could do it blindfolded.

It’s easy, super quick, and a great option for weeknight dinner when you’re one digit away from calling the pizza place for take-out.

And the pineapple salsa… you’ll have leftover for sure.  Just don’t expect it to last too long, especially if you have a bag of tortilla chips in your pantry and a friend named Steve that inhales the stuff faster than Usain Bolt in the 100m.

No fresh garlic or ginger? …you could always use 1/2 teaspoon of the dried powder stuff in a pinch.  I won’t tell, although I can’t guarantee I won’t silently judge you behind your back.  Haha, just kidding šŸ™‚  I’ve had to do it too when I could have sworn there was garlic in our veggie bowl on the counter.  No dice.

spring-giveaway-prize-package

Let’s break down what you’re going to win.  Obviously you’re going to win, right?  Have some confidence.

Vermont Creamery put together a great gift pack plus a cookbook!  They sent me along some samples to try, but I’ve been sick all week and didn’t want to waste it on my compromised and muted palate (i.e. I can’t smell or taste anything right about now, stupid cold).  But you better believe I’ll be diving into it as soon as possible.  The stuff looks legit!

Effie’s Homemade is hooking you up with 2 packages of each flavor they offer (10 packages total!).  I’ve been snacking my way through all their flavors.  I can’t believe I’ve never heard of them before.  Their oatcakes are da bomb.  I seriously can’t stop eating them.  Be on the lookout for them the next time you are in Whole Foods.

I’m always on the look-out for great olive oil.  You’ll get the chance to check out a bunch of varieties from CaliVirgin Olive Oil.  And you’ll be getting a pair of sweet looking coupe appetizer plates from J.K. Adams.

    Dude you’re on fire, one recipe a day.
    What can I say? I’m impressed!
    I’m trying as well to integrate more fish into my diet. I’ve been living on Fish oil capsules over the last decade (as a sportsman I need loads of Omega-3) but it’s better to get it from the real deal.
    Loving this flavor combo man, deffo going to give it a shot this weekend!

    PS question: do wolves eat fish? I’m not sure…

    I have the opposite problem of you, I cook fish almost too often! Haven’t gotten sick of it yet though. This salmon looks amazing! Will definitely be adding it into my recipe rotation.

    Have a great spring break, and I hope moving goes well. That’s pretty good timing! Moving and working would be mighty stressful.

      Not moving quite yet… just packing up boxes. We are trying to do it slowly so that it’s not super stressful when we get the final word on the closing date. Essentials, like all my kitchen gear, will be packed up last minute of course!

    this looks absolutely delicious Chris! I love the mix of sweet & tangy flavors here, I think that combo always works awesome with seafood. and same story here, my Dad is actually allergic to fish so I never grew up eating it either! Shrimp is probably the only seafood that’s a regular in my routine, but I’m trying to make an effort to branch out and cook with more of it šŸ™‚

    I love fish but end up not making it that often because somehow in my head it’s difficult. But you’re right … it isn’t! I find the most important thing to do is to make sure it doesn’t get overcooked and it’s pretty much bound to be delicious.
    This pineapple salsa = beyond delicious, by the way. A perfect summery fish recipe!

    Love that you’re adding fish to the menu at least once a week. It’s my go-to fall back meal. I normally just eat salmon with pesto and tomatoes, but this recipe sounds perfect for summer. We’ll be having this soon – especially because I have a juicy pineapple just waiting to be eaten.

    As a fish lover, I super recommend sole – it’s my absolute favorite (lightly breaded and seared until browned in a little brown butter and a squeeze of lemon on top). Always a hit with guests.

    I love salmon, but my husband isn’t a fan so I rarely make it. He never liked fish as a kid. Said it was always something his Dad caught. It was always smelly. Haha Now, we love having fish as often as possible. Enjoy your break, recipe testing, and box packing. šŸ˜€
