Place salmon fillets onto the lined baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
Brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillets, reserving some for basting later.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, basting halfway through with reserved glaze.
Remove from oven, let rest for a couple of minutes, and garnish with fresh sliced pineapple and cilantro if desired.
