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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound large shrimp
1 cup pineapple, chopped
½ lemon, juiced
1 small tomato, diced
½ cup olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Peel and devein the shrimp. Set aside. In bowl combine the lemon juice, ¼ cup of the olive oil, the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and stir to coat.

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill, broil or cook in a cast iron pan until the shrimp are pink. Plate and top with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: For the best flavor, select a ripe pineapple that is heavy for its size and has a sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples with brown or bruised spots.
  • Grill the pineapple: Grilling the pineapple adds a smoky, caramelized flavor to the salsa. You can grill the pineapple slices directly on a grill or in a grill pan. Be sure to grill the pineapple until it is slightly charred and tender.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapenos. If you can, use homegrown or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Adjust the heat level: The amount of jalapenos you add to the salsa will determine its heat level. If you like spicy salsa, add more jalapenos. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapenos before adding them to the salsa.
  • Chill the salsa before serving: Chilling the salsa allows the flavors to meld and develop. Be sure to chill the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving.
