GRILLED FISH ON PINEAPPLE PLANKS WITH SPICY PINEAPPLE SALSA



Grilled Fish on Pineapple Planks with Spicy Pineapple Salsa image

This elegant yet incredibly easy preparation uses almost all the parts of a pineapple to yield tasty fillets of bass or snapper. The pineapple's peel acts as a buffer against the direct heat of the grill, preventing overcooking and keeping the fish moist, and its flesh becomes a tasty salsa that brings home the island flavors. The plating of the fish, right on the pineapple "planks," is dramatic and fun.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ripe pineapple
One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
2 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 small orange bell pepper, finely chopped
1 medium jalapeno, chopped (seeded, for less heat, if desired)
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Four 6-ounce skinless fillets bass or snapper

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Cut the top from the pineapple and discard. Cut the sides off to make 4 flat planks. Finely dice the pineapple flesh (discard the core) and put it in a medium bowl.
  • Finely grate the ginger and add half to the bowl with the pineapple; reserve the rest. Add the cilantro, oil, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno, lime juice and onion to the diced pineapple. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then toss well and refrigerate while you make the fish.
  • Stir the soy sauce and honey together with the remaining ginger in a small bowl. Brush the fish with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush the tops (the flesh side) of the pineapple planks with some of the soy sauce mixture and place the fish fillets on top of the planks. Brush the remaining soy sauce mixture on the tops of the fillets, folding the thinner part of the fillets under if needed to fit on the plank.
  • Place the pineapple planks on the grill, cover and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the fish on the planks topped with some of the salsa. Serve the remaining salsa on the side or reserve to serve with chips.

Grilled Pork with Spicy Pineapple Salsa image

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound large shrimp, preferably wild (about 24), peeled, deveined, and tails removed
1 tablespoon chipotle-in-adobo sauce (from a 7-ounce can)
1 packed teaspoon grated lime zest and 2 tablespoons fresh juice, plus 1 more lime, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium white onion, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 medium pineapple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
8 flour or corn tortillas (each 6 inches)
1/3 cup packed chopped cilantro, plus sprigs for serving
Avocado slices and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high; place a large cast-iron skillet on grates to preheat. Toss shrimp with adobo, zest, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Lightly brush onion and pineapple with oil; grill directly on grates, flipping once, until charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Grill tortillas, flipping once, until charred, about 30 seconds; wrap in parchment-lined foil. Roughly chop pineapple and onion; toss with lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add shrimp and lime halves to skillet and cook, flipping once, until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 minutes. Let lime halves cool slightly, then squeeze over shrimp; serve in tortillas with pineapple pico, cilantro sprigs, avocado, and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy pineapples for grilling. Look for pineapples with a golden yellow color and a sweet aroma.
  • Soak the pineapple slices in a mixture of water and salt before grilling. This will help to prevent the pineapple from sticking to the grill grate and will also help to enhance the flavor.
  • Grill the pineapple slices over medium heat until they are slightly charred and caramelized. This will give the pineapple a smoky flavor and a slightly crispy texture.
  • Brush the pineapple slices with a mixture of honey, lime juice, and chili powder before serving. This will add a sweet, tangy, and spicy flavor to the pineapple.
  • Serve the grilled pineapple slices as a side dish or snack. They can also be used to top tacos, salads, or skewers.

Conclusion:

Spicy grilled pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The pineapple is juicy and flavorful, and the chili powder gives it a nice kick. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
