- 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno
- 2 tablespoons lime juice

Fish:
- 4 pieces (about 5 ounces each) cod, halibut or other firm, white fish

Instructions
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
- Brush the pineapple with oil and place on the grill. Cook until grill marks form, 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes on the second side. Remove from grill. Chop the pineapple and place it in a bowl along with the red onion, cilantro, jalapeño and lime juice. Mix to combine. Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the fish into 1-inch wide strips and place them in a bowl along with the thyme, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat all of the pieces of fish evenly.
- Brush the grill with oil and add the fish. Cook 3 minutes then turn the fish over and cook another 2-3 minutes until opaque. Remove the fish from the grill.
- Mash the avocado and lime juice together in a bowl.
- To assemble the tacos, spread some mashed avocado on the warmed tortilla. Top with a few pieces of fish and grilled pineapple salsa. Serve with additional toppings such as cilantro leaves, lime wedges and sour cream or Greek yogurt.
