A light and flavor packed meal is awesome on a hot summer day. The sweetness of this salmon matched with the sweet pineapple salad is a great combination.  Serve it family style for a decadent look this dinner will disappear quickly as everyone will want to come back for more.

The salad is romaine lettuce and grilled pineapple tossed in a teriyaki vinaigrette. The vinaigrette is olive oil, teriyaki sauce, apple cider vinegar, lime juice and a small amount of chili oil.

The salmon is cooked using this recipe .
