Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 4 large cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about ½ a lemon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley divided
- 1/2 pineapple sliced

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Add the honey, garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk until everything is well combined and the honey is melted. Stir in one tablespoon of chopped parsley and set aside.
- Prepare the Foil Packets: Cut 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each 12×12 inches (30×30 cm). Place pineapple slices in the center of each sheet and sprinkle with pepper. Place the salmon fillets on top of the pineapple slices.
- Drizzle the honey lemon garlic butter sauce over the salmon. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and the remaining chopped parsley.
- Seal and Bake: Fold the foil over the salmon to make packets. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through.

Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat, simply pop the foil packets back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. For a quicker option, you can microwave the salmon on a microwave-safe plate—just be sure to cover it to keep it moist. Enjoy your delicious meal all over again!
