Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 0.5 cup (diced) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (diced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon (minced) Jalapeño (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the tilapia fillets with the olive oil mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Step 4
Prepare the pineapple salsa by combining diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using) in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Step 5
Place the tilapia fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
Step 6
Carefully remove the tilapia from the grill and place on a serving plate.
Step 7
Top each fillet with a generous spoonful of the prepared pineapple salsa.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as coconut rice or a fresh green salad.
