Roasted Salmon with Spicy Pineapple Marinade

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time:10 minutes + marinating time

Cook Time:12 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pineapple juice (or 2 small cans)
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (or juice from 1 lemon)
• Four 6-ounce salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• lemon slices, optional

Directions:

1. Combine pineapple juice, lemon juice and salmon fillets in a large zip bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 11x7-inch dish with nonstick spray.
3. Remove fish from bag- drizzle a small amount of the marinade onto the bottom of the prepared pan and discard the rest. Combine sugar and next 5 ingredients (sugar through cinnamon) in a bowl. Rub over fish; place in the baking dish.
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork (timing will depend on the thickness of your salmon). Serve with lemon slices, if desired.
