Grilled Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa
Salsa:
1/2 medium fresh pineapple
1/4 small red onion
1 Serrano pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 tsp salt
1 lime
Tilapia:
2-3 T taco seasoning mix
3 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless, skinless tilapia fillets
Heat grill over medium high heat. While that heats, peel and slice pineapple lengthwise and remove core. Slice into several 1-inch thick strips. Arrange pineapple in a single layer and grill about 2-3 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear. Set aside.
While pineapple is cooking, chop onion. Cut Serrano pepper lengthwise in half; remove and discard seeds. Chop Serrano pepper and cilantro. Combine onion, Serrano pepper, cilantro and salt in a small bowl. Zest lime to measure 1 tsp zest. Juice lime to measure 1 tbsp juice. Add zest and juice to bowl; mix well.
Whisk taco seasoning mix and oil in small bowl. Add tilapia; turn to coat. Place tilapia fillets onto grill and cook 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Turn tilapia over and cook another 2 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
As tilapia cooks, chop pineapple and add to onion mixture; mix well. To serve, top tilapia with pineapple salsa.
Delicious!
