1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dark rum

1 green onion, sliced
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, minced
salt
4 (6 -8 ounce) halibut steaks or (6 -8 ounce) halibut fillets

Preparation

Plump raisins in rum for 30 minutes; drain.
Heat grill to medium high heat. Brush pineapple slices with oil & grill until lightly caramelized on both sides. Cool & cut into 1/2\" pieces; put in mixing bowl.
Combine chipotles, lime juice, orange zest & juice. Whisk in olive oil. Pour over pineapple chunks, fold in green onion, red pepper, cilantro & raisins. Salt to taste. Set aside.
Brush halibut heavily with oil & grill just until fish is opaque throughout, gently turning once. The grilling time on halibut is pretty short so keep a close eye on it to avoid over cooking. *** A 1-inch halibut steak will grill up in about 10 minutes over a medium high heat. Thinner cuts and fillets can cook in as little time as 6 minutes.
Serve topped with salsa.
