Instructions
Making Salmon with Pineapple Salsa is an effortless process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your grill or skillet: If grill cooking, preheat to medium-high heat.
2. Season the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over them to enhance flavor and prevent sticking.
3. Prepare the salsa: In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
4. Cook the salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the grill or skillet, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Plate the dish: Once the salmon is fully cooked, transfer it to a serving platter.
6. Top with salsa: Generously spoon the fresh pineapple salsa over each fillet before serving.
7. Garnish: For an attractive presentation, add lime wedges and extra cilantro on the side.
By following these steps, you are guaranteed a scrumptious dish that is as enjoyable to make as it is to eat!
