Simple BBQ Fish Tacos with Pineapple Salsa and Homemade Aioli!! Made the pineapple sweet onion tomato salsa with a little fresh Thai basil. Plus I did a little tangy aioli with a kick. Dang, that’s crazy good!!! I used fresh mahi from @southmauifishcompany but you can use any fresh or fresh-frozen white fish.

Directions

  1. Begin by making the aioli: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the aioli and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. To make the salsa, combine the pineapple, tomatoes, basil, sweet onion, and jalapeño in a large bowl and mix well.
  3. Add the fresh lime juice and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. For the fish, brush both sides of the fish filets with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Place in the grill pan on a preheated grill and cook for about 8-12 minutes (depending on the thickness).
  6. Warm the tortillas by throwing directly on the grill for about 1 minute per side.
  7. To assemble, spread some of the tangy aioli onto a tortilla, add the fish, and top with a hefty scoop of pineapple salsa.
  8. Serve with a Mai Tai and enjoy!
