Asian Marinated Salmon with Grilled Pineapple

The saltiness of the soy sauce and sweetness of the pineapple juice and brown sugar provide a perfect balance for this mild salmon fillet. The recipe did not initially have my complete confidence, so I was both surprised and pleased that this tasted so good. If preferred, using the grilled pineapple to make a salsa for some added heat would be a great idea. Easy, fast, delicious. Again, I used my stove top grill pan. It has served me well for quick cooking entrees.
