Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine spices for salmon including brown sugar, paprika, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle on salmon in an even layer. Let sit for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon with the cut side facing down and cook until browned and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the olive oil into a bowl. Squeeze lemon juice into the same bowl, discarding the lemons. Add chopped parsley, basil, and chives to the lemon oil mixture and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes or until flesh flakes easily with a fork. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Prepare pineapple. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Lay pineapple in an even layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip pineapple over and bake for another 10 minutes or until caramelized.
- Transfer salmon to a serving platter and drizzle the charred lemon dressing on top followed by caramelized pineapple. Serve immediately.
