2. clean the salmon and then add in to the marinate and make sure the marinate covers all the salmon fillets - then place in resealable freezer bag and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes (preferably an hour or two)
3. preheat the oven to 450* and cook salmon for 5 minutes- then take out and allow it to cool
4. while the salmon is cooking, boil some water and steam the vegetable until firm but tender (about 5 minutes)
5.enough to touch (15 minutes) cut the salmon into cubes and
6. while the salmon is cooling - cut the pineapple into chunks and coat them in the pineapple marinate
then carefully place them on the skewers alternating it with the pineapple chunks and the vegetable chunks
6. return to oven (bring the oven temperate down to 325* and cook for 15 additional minutes
7. take out and allow it cool for 5 minutes or 45 minutes- it can be made that much before but it taste best if served sooner.

Place them on a plate and serve up!
