Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
• 1 - 6 ounce can pineapple juice
• ½ teaspoon salt, divided
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 4 - 6 ounce salmon fillets
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• Grated orange rind (optional)

Directions

1. Combine first 4 ingredients and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until reduced to ¼ cup (about 15 minutes). Set aside.
2. Turn oven to broil or heat grill to medium-high.
3. If cooking in the oven: Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of salmon with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and black pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 3 minutes. Turn fish over and place in oven; broil at 400° for 3 minutes. Remove from oven; brush 1 tablespoon sauce over each fillet. Return to oven, and cook 1 minute or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Sprinkle with orange rind, if desired.
