Maui-Style Snapper

8 ingredients
12 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 small pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings
  • 1/4 cup habanero hot sauce or Tabasco sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless red snapper or mahi mahi fillets, cut into 2 1/2 by 1/2-inch strips
  • 8 (5 1/2-inch) soft white or yellow corn tortillas (page 13), for serving
  • Garnish: Iceberg Lettuce Garnish (page 144) and avocado wedges

Directions

  1. 1
    Prepare a charcoal or gas grill.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, toss the pineapple with the hot sauce.
  3. 3
    Grill the fruit slices over very low heat until browned and caramelized, 10 minutes per side (dont let the slices blacken or burn).
  4. 4
    Cut the pineapple rings into small wedges and set aside.
  5. 5
    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the oil, lime juice, and salt and marinate the snapper strips in the mixture for 5 minutes (the oil will help prevent the fish from sticking to the grill).
  6. 6
    Once the pineapple is done, grill the fish over medium-high heat until cooked through, turning once, about 6 minutes total.
  7. 7
    Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
  8. 8
    To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter.
  9. 9
    Divide the lettuce, fish, pineapple, and avocado equally between the tortillas and top with salsa.
  10. 10
    Grab, fold, and eat right away.
  11. 11
    Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand.
  12. 12
    Spoon on some lettuce, filling, avocado, and salsa, and eat.
