Ingredients

1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple tidbits
1 cup chopped seeded ripe tomatoes
3 green onions, sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
6 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
