# Tips:
01 -
Pineapple slices work best in this recipe as they are easier to handle and serve compared to chunks or crushed pineapple.
02 -
If the salmon is too long for the tray, trim the end and place it alongside for even cooking.
03 -
You can spray the baking sheet if nonstick foil is unavailable to prevent the salmon from sticking.
