Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil, plus some sprigs, for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon, plus some sprigs, for garnish
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Four 4-ounce skinless salmon fillets, each about 1-inch thick
Four 1/2-inch-thick round slices (rings) of pineapple, preferably fresh
Avocado Dressing, recipe follows
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
1/8 teaspoon anchovy paste, optional
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small clove garlic, smashed
1/2 avocado, diced

Steps:

Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
Whisk the oil, chopped basil, chives, chopped tarragon, salt and pepper in a small bowl to blend. Brush the salmon and pineapple slices with the herb mixture.
Cook the salmon until barely cooked through and still pink inside, about 4 minutes per side. Cook the pineapple until slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Transfer 1 pineapple slice to each plate and arrange a piece of salmon slightly overlapping it. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the Avocado Dressing over each piece of fish. Garnish with basil and tarragon sprigs and serve.
Combine the lemon juice, basil, chives, olive oil, tarragon, anchovy paste if using, salt, pepper, garlic and avocado in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of water and process until smooth. Cover the dressing and let stand for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour for the flavors to blend.

The avocado dressing was a bit too rich for my taste.

I would have liked the salmon to be a bit more crispy, but overall this recipe was a success.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this dish. The pineapple and avocado add a nice sweetness to the salmon, while the dressing adds a bit of tang.

This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of healthy fats. The salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and the avocado is packed with monounsaturated fats.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The salmon was flaky and moist, and the pineapple-avocado salsa was the perfect complement.
