Source: Everyday Food Magazine

Serves: 4
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lb skinless salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
coarse salt and ground pepper
whole pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into rings about an inch thick
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Directions:
1. Heat broiler with rack in top position.

2. Cook rice according to package instructions.

3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Arrange salmon and pineapple on a rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Brush with half the maple syrup glaze. Broil until salmon is cooked through, 8 to 11 minutes, brushing salmon and pineapple with remaining glaze halfway through.

4. Add cilantro to rice and fluff with fork.

5. Serve rice with salmon and pineapple.

Verdict: This was super good. Allison loved the pineapple and rice and even ate a few bites of the fish. And it was really fast, with only a few ingredients. The thing that took the longest was cutting the fresh pineapple, but I bet this could even be made with canned pineapple rings.
