Fried salmon with pineapple

4 servings

30 minutes

Fried salmon with pineapples is an amazing combination of the tenderness of sea fish and the sweetness of tropical fruit. This recipe is inspired by European cuisine but brings exotic notes thanks to pineapple and soy sauce. Salmon, known for its oily texture, is fried to a light crispy crust and then combined with juicy pieces of pineapple, aromatic celery, and garlic. A thick, clear sauce made from fish broth and pineapple juice adds richness and a spicy sweetness to the dish. This dish not only delights the taste but is also visually appealing – the bright colors of the ingredients make it a true table decoration. It is perfect for a romantic dinner or festive gathering where you want to surprise guests with an unusual yet harmonious flavor.
