Player Rotating Oddly When Aligning to a Certain Normal

Question

I have a slide over mechanic in my game where the player can slide over objects. When the slideover is initiated, the player will immediately rotate on the y axis to face the surface and then slide over it. Its generally working, however on a wall facing a particular direction, the hitInfo retuns (0,0,1) which flips the player -180 on the x axis. I'm unsure why this is happening as the rotation should be on the y axis. Any ideas on how to fix it?

 //Create a ray forwards from the player to detect any surfaces
  ray = new Ray(new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.25f, transform.position.z), transform.forward);
 RaycastHit hitInfo;
 //Rotate the player to face the surface if one is detected
 if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hitInfo, 1, mask)) {
     transform.rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.back, hitInfo.normal);
 }
