This Roasted Salmon recipe is simple marinated in pineapple and lemon juice. Then it’s covered with spices and roasted in the oven. The result: a delicious, tender salmon with great flavor! I’m going to call it family-friendly, since it was a big hit with my own family.

This was great. My family loved it. Paired it with sweet potatoes with pineapple chunks and side of green beans. Definitely having this again.
These sound so good. Can’t wait to try it.
