In a small saucepan, combine crushed pineapple, sugar-free honey, coconut aminos, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Simmer over medium heat 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and syrupy.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brush half the glaze over salmon. Roast 12–15 minutes, until salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily.
