Grilled Fish on Pineapple Planks with Spicy Pineapple Salsa<\/p>\n
This elegant yet incredibly easy preparation uses almost all parts of a pineapple to create tasty bass or snapper fillets. The pineapple\u2019s peel acts as a buffer against the grill\u2019s direct heat, preventing overcooking and keeping the fish moist, while its flesh becomes a flavorful salsa that evokes island vibes. Serving the fish right on the pineapple \u201cplanks\u201d adds a dramatic, fun touch to the plating.<\/p>\n

Directions<\/p>\n
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Cut the top off the pineapple and discard it. Slice the sides to create 4 flat planks. Finely dice the pineapple flesh (discard the core) and transfer it to a medium bowl.<\/p>\n
Grate the ginger finely, adding half to the bowl with the pineapple (reserve the rest). Stir in cilantro, oil, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno, lime juice, and onion. Season with 1\/4 teaspoon of salt, toss well, and refrigerate while preparing the fish.<\/p>\n
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, and the remaining ginger. Brush the fish with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Coat the flesh side of the pineapple planks with some of the soy sauce mixture, then place the fish fillets on top. Brush the remaining mixture onto the fillets, folding the thinner edges under if needed to fit the planks.<\/p>\n
Place the pineapple planks on the grill, cover, and cook until the fish is just done (15\u201320 minutes). Serve the fish on the planks, topped with a portion of the salsa. Serve the remaining salsa on the side or save it for chips.<\/p>\n
