Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Salmon or halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
• 1 cup Pineapple (fresh, diced)
• 1 cup Mango (fresh, diced)
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
• 0.25 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 piece Jalapeño (seeded and minced, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates.

Step 2

Pat the salmon or halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika if desired.

Step 3

Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill or grill pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.

Step 4

While the fish cooks, prepare the fruit salsa. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 5

Add the lime juice and minced jalapeño (if using) to the bowl, and gently toss to combine. Taste and adjust lime juice or seasoning as needed.

Step 6

To serve, spoon a generous portion of the fruit salsa over each fish fillet. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice, quinoa, or a simple green salad.
