Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather ingredients and a greased baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger until smooth.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry, rub with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Place the salmon skin-side down in the baking dish. Spoon two-thirds of the glaze over the fillets and scatter diced pineapple around them.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Optionally, broil for 1 to 2 minutes for a caramelized finish.
  6. Allow the salmon to rest for 5 minutes and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
