Fish Tacos with Grilled Pineapple Salsa

Salsa

• 1 ripe pineapple, trimmed and sliced
• 1 cup red pepper, small diced
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 1/2 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. lime juice
• 2 tbsp. orange juice
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Fish

• 5 tbsp. olive oil, divided
• Juice of 3 limes
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground white pepper
• 1 lb. tender white fish, such as rockfish, ling, cod, or tilapia
• 12 flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup crème fraîche
• Handful of fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 limes, quartered

Preheat grill to 350 degrees. Once hot, place pineapple on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over and repeat. Remove from grill and allow to cool before dicing.

Salsa

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate for one hour before serving.

Fish

In a shallow bowl or baking disk, whisk together 3 tbsp. olive oil, lime juice, a sprinkling of sea salt and white pepper to taste. Add fish fillets to the marinade. Let fish marinate for 15-20 minutes maximum. Remove fish from the marinade. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat remaining oil. When hot, add fish and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until tender and flaky. If the fish is so flaky it falls apart, it is still fine to serve in the taco. Serve the fish on warm flour tortillas with pineapple salsa and a drizzle of crème fraîche. Garnish with cilantro and quartered limes.
