Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ teaspoon chili powder (optional for a spicy kick)

Juice of 1 fresh lime

For the Pineapple Salsa:

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced into small pieces

½ red bell pepper, finely chopped

½ small red onion, finely diced

1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely minced (optional for added spice)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, chili powder (if using), and lime juice. Whisk together until well blended to create a flavorful marinade.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish, skin-side down. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor infusion).

      Make the Pineapple Salsa: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the diced pineapple, chopped red bell pepper, diced red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and allow the salsa to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors develop.

        Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down onto the grill grates. Grill the fillets for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

          Serve: Once grilled, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Plate each salmon fillet and generously top it with the vibrant pineapple salsa. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired for a pop of color.

            Enjoy: Serve alongside your choice of side dishes such as grilled vegetables or fragrant coconut rice to create a complete tropical meal that celebrates the delightful flavors of summer!
