So good it'll make you wanna slap yo' mama Salmon

Friends,
This is a favorite around our household. It's a twist on a classic salmon that will not let you down. As we always say, It's so good it'll make you wanna slap you' mama. Enjoy!


Ingredients
2-4 salmon steaks (around 1/2 a pound each)
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 to 4 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp horseradish
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh Parsley
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

Wipe salmon steaks with damp paper towel and place those bad boys in a shallow baking dish (or a ziplock bag, this is easier in my opinion). Combine remaining ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. Pour the mixture onto the salmon and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the salmon filets over after an hour. Be careful not to let them over marinade because it will make the fish mushy. Preheat your oven to 450. Remove the salmon from the fridge and place everything into a shallow baking dish (if it's not already in one) and bake for 10-12 mins. After 10-12 minutes, turn on the broiler and let the salmon turn a little brown around the edges (depending on your oven could take 2-4 mins). Please DON'T overcook. Remove the salmon from all the good juices and cover to let it sit for a few minutes. Take the remaining sauce and put it in a small sauce pan on the stove. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook the sauce until it has reduced by half. Pull out your salmon and put this DELICIOUS sauce on top and you've got a wonderful healthy meal!

We also threw some steam in bag broccoli with our dish with some homemade tzatziki sauce on top.

And if there are just two you, make the leftovers into a delicious salmon sandwich with tarter sauce and tomatoes for the next day!

 Yumm, see that golden brown goodness along the edges? That means you are good to go!


 Tah-Dah! Looks so good it makes you wanna slap yo mama.. doesn't it?


Delicious leftovers. It doesn't get any better than this!
