Ingredients

Salsa:

1 medium ripe pineapple, trimmed, cored, quartered lengthwise and cut again lengthwise
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
2 limes, juiced and lime halves reserved
1 small red onion, minced
1/2 bunch fresh mint, leaves finely chopped (about 1/2 cup leaves)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves finely chopped (about 1/2 cup leaves)
Couple pinches kosher salt
Superfine sugar, optional

Fish:

4 (8-ounce) center-cut mako shark fillets
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
20 grinds black pepper

Directions

Salsa:

Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly rub the pineapple pieces with oil. Grill on all sides, about 2 minutes per side or until lightly caramelized with nice char marks. Remove from grill and set aside to cool slightly.

Cut grilled pineapple into 1/2-inch dice and add to a medium bowl. Add all remaining salsa ingredients, including the lime halves. These will lend the additional lime oils in the rinds to the mixture, making a more aromatic salsa. Set aside until ready to use.

While grill is still hot, rub each shark steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place steaks on grill across the grill ribs and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks. Gently turn fish so it does not fall apart. Once the flesh has become opaque and firm to the touch, it is cooked through. Remove to a platter and spoon salsa over fish. Serve immediately.

The Pineapple Salsa is GREAT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this substituting swordfish for the shark. What a wonderful mix of flavors, so fresh and light. I omitted the mint,... as we do not care for mint, but otherwise followed the instructions. Very good and a definite make again!Read more

this is my first time eating shark....

didn't like the shark at all; I guess the recipe would have been o.k. with some other kind of fish; way too much cilantro..

Easy summer dish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used mahi mahi, and found the salsa to be a refreshing complement to the fish. I love grilling pineapples in the summer,... and this was an easy way to incorporate pineapples into my entree. Although it tasted great, the salsa was rather ordinary. I'd recommend reducing the mint by half (as it was a little overpowering), and adding a diced jalapeno for heat.Read more

Low investment, high returns!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I decided to make this because it sounded so easy, and it turned out great, just as described on TV and in the recipe. I... used thresher shark from the fish market.Read more
