Juicy salmon and fresh pineapple chunks glazed in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, grilled to perfection for an easy and delicious summer BBQ meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Skinless, boneless salmon fillets, cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • Fresh pineapple, cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • ½ cup (120 ml) teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soaked if wooden)

Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Metal skewers do not require soaking.
  2. Cut salmon fillets and fresh pineapple into 1.5-inch chunks, keeping pieces uniform for even cooking.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until glossy and aromatic.
  4. Place salmon chunks into the glaze and toss gently to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Thread the salmon and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C) and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  7. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, basting occasionally with leftover glaze. Watch for salmon to turn opaque and pineapple to caramelize with slightly charred edges.
  8. If glaze begins to burn, move skewers to a cooler part of the grill.
  9. Remove skewers from grill once cooked through and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Marinate salmon for 15-20 minutes for best flavor infusion. Use low sodium soy sauce to keep sodium balanced. Baste skewers twice during grilling for a sticky, caramelized glaze. Watch grill temperature to avoid burning glaze. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
