Lacquered Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced, fresh
2 teaspoons whiskey
olive oil
6 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, 6 ounces each
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
6 tablespoons crushed pineapple, canned, divided

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place soy sauce and sugar in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
Add the ginger, garlic and whiskey.
Reduce heat low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Put half this sauce in a container to drizzle over the fish after it is cooked. The sauce can be made in advance and reheated.
Brush a broiling pan with olive oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper.
Place the fillets on the prepared pan and sprinkle each with one tablespoons of pineapple over each fillet.
Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes, until salmon is pink and slightly firm to the touch. *Note, if you like your salmon cooked rare, cook for only 15-20 minutes.
Drizzle with reserved sauce before serving.
