🍍 Honey-Pineapple Teriyaki Glaze

A bright, tangy-sweet glaze perfect for summer grilling or a nourishing rice bowl. Makes for a delicious, family-friendly marinade for chicken, salmon or even ground pork.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, purĂ©ed

  • 2 tbsp raw honey

  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or tamari for more depth)

  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

  • 1 garlic clove, grated

  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes or dash of fish sauce for added umami

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat.

  2. Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

  3. Brush onto grilled chicken, salmon, or vegetables—or use as a marinade (I’ll let my protein marinate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is best if you can think that far ahead!)

  4. Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Nourishment Note: Fresh pineapple contains bromelain, a natural digestive enzyme that supports inflammation reduction and gut health. Combined with raw honey and ginger, this glaze doesn’t just taste good—it nourishes from the inside out.
