Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or mahi-mahi)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup pineapple, fresh and diced
- 1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, freshly chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven or grill to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet or grill pan.
Brush the fish fillets with olive oil to coat evenly on all sides.
Season the fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Bake or grill the fish for 8-10 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the pineapple jalapeño salsa. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced pineapple, chopped jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and honey.
Mix the salsa ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the fish fillets are finished cooking, remove them from the oven or grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Plate the fish fillets individually and spoon a generous amount of the pineapple jalapeño salsa on top.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dish, such as steamed rice, quinoa, or a green salad.
