Hawaiian style salmon

 So I'm not a fish person so anything that can cover it up - I'm all for it :)  This was AMAZING!!  I LOVED it!!  We all loved it :)  Such a great dish and oh so healthy!!!
 

Ingredients:
4(4oz) salmon steaks, rinsed and patted dry
Sea salt
½ cup chipped pineapple
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
¼ cup cilantro

Preheat oven to 400

Cut parchment paper into 4 circles about 12 inches in diameter each.  Fold each circle in half.  Place on baking sheet.  Place a salmon steak in the center of each parchment half circle.  Season with salt and pepper.

Top salmon with pineapple, shallots, and cilantro.  Fold other half of parchment paper over ingredients and crimp edges to seal.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.  Be careful when opening poaches as steam will be released.
