found this recipe and thought I would give it a try. relax....the pineapple really does not do anything for flavor, its there more for moisture and to keep it from sticking to the pan.

1 large salmon fillet (about 3 lbs.) 17 pineapple rings, fresh or canned
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp. melted butter 3 tbsp. sweet chili sauce

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with cooking spray. In the center of the foil, lay pineapple slices in an even layer.
2. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper and place on top of pineapple slices.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together butter, chili sauce, cilantro, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Brush all over salmon fillet.
