Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced (optional)

Zest of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and coat them with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes.

    Prepare the Pineapple Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill or sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has a nice char.

        Serve: Once cooked, transfer the salmon fillets to a serving plate. Spoon a generous amount of pineapple salsa over each fillet.
