Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.

  3. Pat salmon fillets dry, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  4. Place the seasoned salmon skin-side down in the greased baking dish.
  5. Drizzle about two-thirds of the glaze over salmon and scatter diced pineapple around.
