GRILLED FISH ON PINEAPPLE PLANKS WITH SPICY PINEAPPLE SALSA



Grilled Fish on Pineapple Planks with Spicy Pineapple Salsa image

This elegant yet incredibly easy preparation uses almost all the parts of a pineapple to yield tasty fillets of bass or snapper. The pineapple's peel acts as a buffer against the direct heat of the grill, preventing overcooking and keeping the fish moist, and its flesh becomes a tasty salsa that brings home the island flavors. The plating of the fish, right on the pineapple "planks," is dramatic and fun.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ripe pineapple
One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
2 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 small orange bell pepper, finely chopped
1 medium jalapeno, chopped (seeded, for less heat, if desired)
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Four 6-ounce skinless fillets bass or snapper

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Cut the top from the pineapple and discard. Cut the sides off to make 4 flat planks. Finely dice the pineapple flesh (discard the core) and put it in a medium bowl.
  • Finely grate the ginger and add half to the bowl with the pineapple; reserve the rest. Add the cilantro, oil, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno, lime juice and onion to the diced pineapple. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then toss well and refrigerate while you make the fish.
  • Stir the soy sauce and honey together with the remaining ginger in a small bowl. Brush the fish with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Brush the tops (the flesh side) of the pineapple planks with some of the soy sauce mixture and place the fish fillets on top of the planks. Brush the remaining soy sauce mixture on the tops of the fillets, folding the thinner part of the fillets under if needed to fit on the plank.
  • Place the pineapple planks on the grill, cover and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the fish on the planks topped with some of the salsa. Serve the remaining salsa on the side or reserve to serve with chips.

Seared Scallops with Pineapple, Ginger and Lemon Grass Salsa image

I'm still on my healthy eating kick to get in shape for the summer, but refuse to resign myself to just baked chicken breasts and steamed broccoli. This recipe was exactly what I needed tonight - something that involves a little bit of real cooking, fresh seafood, and a ton of flavor. I will have to keep this one in mind for the upcoming summer evenings. If scallops aren't your thing, try this recipe with jumbo prawns, calamari, or even grilled octopus!

Provided by Seattle Food Geek

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 shallot, sliced crosswise

¼ cup finely chopped pineapple
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon sesame seeds
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt, to taste
½ pound French style green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons safflower oil
4 large sea scallops

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallot and 1 pinch of salt; cook and stir until the shallot has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir shallot, pineapple, ginger, lemon grass, cilantro, honey, vinegar, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil, and salt to taste, together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans, recover, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6 minutes depending on thickness. Immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the green beans are cold, drain well, and set aside.
  • Heat the safflower oil in a large skillet over high heat. Thoroughly dry each scallop. Once light wisps of smoke are visible in the safflower oil, carefully place the scallops in the skillet. Sear the scallops until golden brown without moving them, about 1 minute. Flip the scallop and cook until desired doneness, about 90 seconds. Turn of the heat and remove scallops from the skillet. Toss green beans into the still-hot skillet for 1 minute. Serve scallops over green beans and top with pineapple salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: Use ripe pineapple for the best flavor. A ripe pineapple will have a sweet, fragrant smell and will give slightly when squeezed.
  • Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute dried cilantro, but use only half the amount.
  • Don't over-chop the ingredients: Chop the ingredients into small pieces, but don't over-chop them. You want the salsa to have a chunky texture.
  • Let the salsa rest: After you've made the salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the salsa chilled: Pineapple salsa is best served chilled. You can refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:
