Grilled Salmon with Pineapple Pecan Salsa

Salmon is one fish that can stand up to the zesty flavors of pineapple, cilantro, and jalapeño used here. Toasted pecans add a welcome crunch. 

Serves 4
1-1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
4 small salmon steaks (about 5 ounces each)

About 30 minutes before serving, combine the pineapple, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and salt to make salsa; set aside. 

Prepare a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill. Place the salmon steaks on the grill and cook, turning just once, until the fatty edges are crispy and the salmon looks like it will flake-about 5 to 6 minutes each side.

To serve, stir pecans into salsa; top each salmon steak with about 1/3 cup salsa.
