Preparation
Preparing the Salsa
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine pineapple, passion fruit pulp, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
Add Lime Juice and Salt
Add lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Mix well.
Chill Salsa
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Letting the salsa chill enhances the flavors and melds them beautifully.
Marinating the Snapper
Season the Snapper
Rub the snapper fillets with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Ensure snapper is fresh; the smell should be clean like the ocean.
Marinate
Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the Grill
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Cooking Process
Grilling the Snapper
Place the snapper skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
