Step-By-Step Instructions for Baked Pineapple Salmon

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper, and place them skin-side down on the lined baking sheet.
Drain the pineapple slices and arrange them beneath the salmon on the baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, melted butter, hoisin sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a splash of reserved pineapple juice. Mix well.
Pour the sauce generously over the salmon, covering each fillet, then bake for 15 minutes or until flaky.
Switch to broil for an additional 5 minutes for a charred finish, keeping a close watch.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime slices on the side.
