Grilled Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa

(from The Pampered Chef 29 Minutes to Dinner Cookbook)
Taco seasoning gives a flavor boost with minimum effort. As the tilapia cooks, you can prepare the flavorful salsa.

Pineapple Salsa
1/2 medium pineapple
1/4 small red onion
1 serrano pepper
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 tsp salt
1 lime
Tilapia
1 packet taco seasoning (1.25 oz)
3 Tbsp Garlic Oil or olive oil
4 boneless skinless tilapia fillets (about 4 oz each)

1. Heat Grill Pan over medium heat 5 minutes. As pan heats, using Santuko Knife, peel pineapple half; cut lengthwise into two pieces and remove core. (You can also use the pineapple wedger to get your pineapple halves and remove the core at the same time.) Slice each pineapple piece lengthwise into three strips. Arrange strips in a single layer over Grill Pan; cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear. Set aside on Cutting Board.

2. While pineapple cooks, chop onion. Cut serano pepper lengthwise in half; remove and discard seeds. Chop serrano pepper and cilantri. Combine onion, serrano peppers, cilantro and salt in Small Batter Bowl. Zest lime using Microplane Adjustable Grater to measure 1 tsp zest. Juice lime to measure 1 Tbsp juice. Add zest and juice to batter bowl; mix well.

3. Whisk taco seasoning and oil in Stainless Mixing Bowl. Add tilapia to coat. Place two tilapia fillets onto Grill Pan. Cook 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Turn tilapia over using Jumbo Slotted Turner; cook 2 minutes or until tilapia flakes easily with a fork. Remove tilapia from pan. Wipe out pan and repeat with remaining fillets.

4. As tilapia cooks, chop pineapple and add to onion mixture in batter bowl; mix well. To serve, top tilapia with pineapple salsa.
