Ingredients
Grilled Pineapple:
- 1 pineapple, outer skin removed + fruit cored
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey or sugar
Chili Lime Salmon:
- 1 pound sockeye salmon, skin on
- Olive oil spray
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Grilled Pineapple:
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Cut cored pineapple into rings, about ½" thick. Line a baking sheet with foil, and then lay pineapple slices flat on a the sheet. Brush pineapple with oil on both sides, and then drizzle with honey. Let pineapple marinate while the grill continues to heat up.
- Tip: A grilling mat is useful to help you grill pineapple without risk of it falling through the grill.Once grill is hot, grill pineapple 2-3 minutes per side, until the honey begins to caramelize. Set pineapple aside.
Grilled Chili Lime Salmon:
- Prepare grill plates by cleaning if needed, and spraying with oil. Allow the pineapple juices to burn off as and make sure the grill is still very hot.
- Pat salmon dry, and then pat it dry again. Wet fish may stick to the grill. Rub chili powder and lime zest onto the flesh side of the salmon. Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with salt.
- Set salmon, skin-side down, on the grill. Tip: Cooking skin-side down will make your fish easier to flip.
- Grill 9 minutes total per 1" thickness, flipping halfway through.Tip: If fish sticks to the grill when it's time to flip, leave it for another 30 seconds, and then flip.
- Sprinkle salmon with the lime juice. Serve salmon immediately with the grilled pineapple. Serving tip: Serve the fish whole for a gorgeous presentation, or divide into 4 servings and then serve.
Notes
- Recipe variations:
- Strawberry Salsa instead of Pineapple: Dice strawberries + a small handful of fresh mint. Drizzle with honey.
- Sear Pineapple + Salmon on the Stovetop: Use a very hot, oiled cast iron pan. Cook times will remain the same.
