1

In 2-quart saucepan, heat maple syrup and soy sauce to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until reduced by half. Remove from heat; stir in lime juice. Cover to keep warm; set aside.
2

Heat grill to medium, or heat a grill pan over medium heat. If using grill pan, spray pan with cooking spray before heating.
3

Grill pineapple 2 to 4 minutes on each side, until grill marks form and pineapple turns easily. Transfer to cutting board; cover with aluminum foil tent to keep warm. Set aside.
4

Rub flesh side of salmon with olive oil and salt. Grill salmon 5 minutes on skin side up, turn, reduce heat to low and grill 5 to 8 minutes longer or until salmon flakes easily with fork.
5

Cut pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Divide rice among 4 plates; top with salmon and pineapple. Serve with maple soy sauce on the side.

Expert Tips

Be careful not to let the sauce boil over. The sticky-sweet concoction is delicious, but no fun to clean off the stove!
Skin-on fish is easier to handle on the grill because it helps hold the fillets together.
This dish would be great served with a side of edamame, green beans or kale.
Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
