Holiday Glazed Salmon with Cranberry-Pineapple Relish

Ingredients:

For the salmon:

- 4 salmon fillets

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 tablespoons maple syrup

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- Salt and pepper to taste

For the cranberry-pineapple relish:

- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

- 1/2 cup pineapple, diced

- 1/4 cup orange juice

- 2 tablespoons honey

- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

- Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Prepare the salmon glaze:

In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the glaze.

2. Cook the salmon:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.

3. Make the cranberry-pineapple relish:

In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, pineapple, orange juice, honey, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.

4. Assemble:

Plate the salmon and spoon the cranberry-pineapple relish over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.

5. Serve:

Pair with roasted vegetables or wild rice for a complete holiday meal.
