Grilled Pineapple Avocado Salsa and Fish Tacos

I have a friend who, whenever I say I love/want/desire/am eating fish tacos, gets this confused, grossed out expression on her face and goes 'of all the food combinations in the world that one makes the least amount of sense'. She's adorable in her lack of understanding about just how AWESOME fish is in taco form!

Take my pineapple juice marinated grilled Marlin tacos with my pineapple avocado salsa and lime crema. YUMMMM!!

Now to be truly evil I'm just doing one part of the recipe today. My salsa.  The reasons why I'm doing this way are:

A) because I'm evil;
B) it gives me recipes to post later on;
C) because this salsa is amazing on it's own without any fish to go over; and
D) did I mention I was evil?

Anyhow, without further ado - my salsa.



Grilled Pineapple and Avocado Salsa

Ingredients

• 1 fresh pineapple,
• 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and diced
• 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
• Small handful of cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and cut in half
• Juice of 1 lime
• Zest of 1 lime
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked salt

Directions

1. Peel and slice ½ a pineapple; grill on barbecue until lightly charred, warm and juicy; remove from grill and dice;
2. Cut jalapeño in half, de-seed it and lightly coat with a neutral oil (like grape seed). Grill at the same time as pineapple. Remove and finely dice;
3. dice remaining of pineapple;
4. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Cover and let stand in a cool room or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving in order to marry flavours.

Eat!

Enjoy!

(FYI - it's great with multigrain Tostitos and a splash or two of hotsauce!)
