Categories Weeknight

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 -7 ounces portions fresh yellowtail fish fillets
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 whole pineapple, peeled, sliced into 1/4 inch slices, and diced
1 small red onion, peeled, sliced 1 inch thick, grilled, and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
salt & pepper

Steps:

Season yellowtail with salt & pepper on both sides, and place on hot grill. Grill to medium (3 minutes per side depending on thickness), as overcooking will lead to a dry finished product. While fish is cooking, place all ingredients for the pineapple salsa in a bowl and toss. When the fish is cooked, place a piece of banana leaf on the plate. Place fish on top of banana leaf and top with pineapple salsa, serve with rice and garnish with a grilled lemon.
Salsa can be made 1-2 hours in advance, no need to chill.
