Look for black sesame seeds in the Asian foods section of a specialty market. If you can't find them, use white seeds instead.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 24 servings

Ingredients

1 46-ounce can unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 2 1/4-pound center-cut skinless salmon fillets, each cut crosswise into twenty-four 1/2-inch-wide slices
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring pineapple juice to boil in large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until reduced to 3 cups, about 20 minutes. Transfer juice to bowl; cool. Stir soy sauce into marinade.

    Step 2

    Place fish in single layer in two 15x10x2-inch glass baking dishes. Pour pineapple marinade over fish, dividing equally. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours.

    Step 3

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray 2 large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray. Remove fish from marinade; shake off excess. Reserve marinade. Place fish, flat side down, on sheets. Bake until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Using spatula, carefully transfer to platter.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, simmer reserved marinade in medium saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Brush fish with marinade. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.) Sprinkle with sesame seeds; serve with cabbage salad.
