Grilled Mahimahi with Honey-Macadamia Crust image

I found this recipe and can't wait to try it. From the West Hawaii Today newspaper. Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby, authors of "Big Flavors of the Hot Sun", suggest serving the fish with coconut rice.

1 tsp vegetable oil
salt and pepper, to taste

1 c fresh pineapple, diced
