Directions
Heat the grill to medium-high. Brush fish with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill on one side until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes, brush with some of the Pineapple Mustard Glaze. Flip over, brush with more of the Pineapple Mustard Glaze and continue grilling for 4 to 5 minutes, for medium doneness. Remove from the grill, brush with more of the Pineapple Mustard Glaze, place a tablespoon of the Cilantro Chimichurri on top of the fish, and serve Grilled Pineapple Salsa and Pickled Green Chiles alongside or on top.

- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Add the mustard and cook an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice, and white pepper. Let cool.

Grill the pineapple on both sides until lightly golden brown. Remove from the grill and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Combine in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Pickled Green Chiles: 2 cups red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons kosher 2 tablespoons sugar 6 whole serrano chiles, washed well and dried 6 jalapeno chiles, washed well and dried

This is a wonderful recipe. The pineapple glaze was outstanding, but the recipe made about 4 times more than I used. I tried freezing the extra, but after 2 days at 0 degrees it is still mushy rather than frozen hard. I suspect this may be because of sugar content. Does anyone know how long it is safe to keep mushy glaze in the freezer before using?

This was by far 1 of the best complete fish entrees i have had in a while. The only dissapointment was it left me standing what to do with the pickled peppers, but we ate a couple and saved the rest. There was plenty of glaze and salsa left over and we intend to try it with some chicken tomorrow.

We have been making this recipe regularly for over five years now. It's a time tested favorite that my wife keeps requesting. The grilled pineapple slices is a great touch and the cilantro chimichurri is the perfect touch. Bobby Flay is the master of sauces and the daring combination of the cilantro chimichurri and the pineapple mustard glaze is a great demonstration of this.
