Grilled Yellowtail Tuna And Pineapple Salsa - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    for the yellowtail tuna
    2 -7 ounces portions fresh yellowtail fish fillets
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
    For the Salsa
    1 whole pineapple, peeled, sliced into 1/4 inch slices, and diced
    1 small red onion, peeled, sliced 1 inch thick, grilled, and diced
    1 red bell pepper, diced
    1 jalapeno pepper, diced
    1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    salt & pepper
Preparation
    Season yellowtail with salt & pepper on both sides, and place on hot grill. Grill to medium (3 minutes per side depending on thickness), as overcooking will lead to a dry finished product. While fish is cooking, place all ingredients for the pineapple salsa in a bowl and toss. When the fish is cooked, place a piece of banana leaf on the plate. Place fish on top of banana leaf and top with pineapple salsa, serve with rice and garnish with a grilled lemon.
    Salsa can be made 1-2 hours in advance, no need to chill.
