They are also easy to make; all you have to do is salt and pepper the red snapper and then place on a hot, oiled grill.

It is important you shop for fresh red snapper.

We needed a fresh white fish that flakes easily when grilled and what other fish fits perfectly other than the red snapper. In case you don’t like red snapper, you could use cod, tilapia, halibut, and haddock – they are also suitable options. Pineapple salsa serves as a garnish and it’s also easy to make. It’s basically a mixture of minced yellow, red or green bell pepper, diced fresh pineapples, chopped fresh cilantro, and chopped sweet onion.

Should you not have time to dice the pineapples, you can get already diced pineapples or purchase canned pineapple at the store. Red snapper with pineapple salsa re-defines dinner time with your family and friends and that’s what’s great about this dish. You can customize the recipe and substitute the pineapples for fresh mangoes, but hey, you’re the boss of your kitchen. So go grab the ingredients needed and follow the following instructions carefully.

1. In a bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, bell pepper and cilantro. Cover and chill.

1. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and the oil. Set aside. Salt and pepper the fish.
2. Heat and oil your grill. Grill the snapper for approximately 4 to 8 minutes on each side, basting with the lime juice mixture. The fish is done when it flakes easily when tested with a fork and is no longer translucent in the center.

Notes: Depending on what you like, you can add in some minced red bell pepper too. Substitute avocado oil or olive oil for the vegetable oil to switch the recipe to a Paleo diet.
