In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable freezer bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse. If planning to freeze, label and store the bag flat in the freezer for up to 3 months.
If frozen, thaw the pork chops in the refrigerator overnight before proceeding to cook.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
Serve the grilled Palma pork chops with your favorite side dishes such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
