Pepper and Honey Salmon 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons pineapple juice 3 tablespoons and 1-3/4 teaspoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon lemon juice 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/2 cup honey 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless salmon fillets 5/8 pinch salt and pepper to taste
Bring the pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir in the sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 15 minutes. Set the sauce aside. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Season the salmon with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 min on each side. Serve salmon medium rare to medium unless you prefer it fully cooked. Drizzle sauce over filets after turning and a little once you have plated the salmon.
