Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (around 6 ounces each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon chili powder (optional for heat)

Juice of 1 lime

For the Pineapple Salsa:

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

½ red bell pepper, finely chopped

½ small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeds removed and minced (optional)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, chili powder (if using), and lime juice.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they're well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Make the Pineapple Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it sit to allow the flavors to meld while you grill the salmon.

        Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place them skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

          Serve: Once grilled, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the salmon fillets topped generously with pineapple salsa, garnishing with extra cilantro if desired.

            Enjoy: Pair with your choice of side, such as grilled vegetables or coconut rice, and savor the tropical flavors!
