Soy Sauce and Honey Glazed Salmon over Hawaiian rice

This dish is too easy and good to be true. The honey and soy sauce adds a sweet and salty delicate glaze to the salmon while the pineapple ties it in with the rice and freshness this dish up. This is one of my late night creations from scrolling through recipes and putting together a crazy concoction. Surprize your guests with a flavorful different dish or just enjoy a healthy easy dinner for yourself. Either way i cannot stress how incredible this dish is! Enjoy!
