Steps:
- Slice the top of pineapple and the bottom off. Stand the pineapple on its side and with a sharp knife, slice sides of pineapple off. Cut the pineapple into small slices and then remove the core of each slice. (The core tends to be hard to eat, but I've had some pineapples were it was soft). Dice the remaining pineapple into small pieces.
- Toss all of the ingredients into a bowl and chill for a couple of hours to let the flavors marinate.
- Season each side of the fish with garlic powder, fresh ground pepper and sea salt.
- Heat grill to medium high heat. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, until inside of the fish is a nice medium rare. Top with pineapple salsa! Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest yellowfin tuna steaks you can find. Look for steaks that are bright red in color and have a firm texture.

- Cook the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- While the tuna is grilling, make the grilled pineapple salsa. This salsa is a great way to add a sweet and tangy flavor to the fish.
- Serve the grilled yellowfin tuna with the grilled pineapple salsa and your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
