Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and honey. Stir well to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Place the mahi mahi fillets on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the mahi mahi from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve each fillet topped with a generous spoonful of the pineapple salsa.
Optional: Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges for added flavor.
