Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup (diced) pineapple
• 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup (diced) red onion
• 1 small (deseeded and minced) jalapeño
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) cilantro
• 1 (juiced) lime
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet evenly with olive oil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture evenly onto the salmon fillets.

Step 4

In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the pineapple salsa by combining the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

Step 5

Add the lime juice and honey to the salsa mixture. Stir well to combine, and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 6

Brush the preheated grill with oil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable.

Step 7

Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two.

Step 9

Serve the grilled salmon topped with a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa. Enjoy!
