Recipe Preparation

For the Smoked Chili-Lime Salt
- With a mortar and pestle or food processor, break up the dried chilies until finely ground.
- Mix together with the smoked paprika, coarse sea salt and lime zest. This salt can be kept in an airtight container for about 2 weeks.
For the Grilled Pineapple Miso Salsa
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Brush the pineapple slices with coconut oil. Place on hot grill and cook until caramelized, turning periodically to ensure even cooking.
- Remove and cool enough to handle, then dice.
- Place the grilled, diced pineapple in a bowl along with the remaining ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
For the Salmon
- In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, sesame oil, garlic paste and honey.
- Brush the fillets with the sesame oil mixture and season liberally with the smoked chili-lime salt. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the grill and cook for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets and until the salmon is cooked to the desired temperature.
- Serve hot with an abundance of veggies and grilled pineapple miso salsa.
