Preparation

Step 1

Place fish fillets in a resealable plastic bag. Combine first 5 ingredients and pour over the fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for up to two hours.

Prepare salsa and set aside for flavors to blend.

Remove fish from the bag and wipe off excess marinade. Brush both sides liberally with oil. Brush oil in a very hot cast iron skillet. Place fish in the skillet and sear for about 2 minutes. Cook until blackened but not burned. Turn and cook on other side.

Plate fish and serve with pineapple salsa.

NOTE: Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated, or place skillet on an outdoor grill.
