Recipe
with pineapple and cilantro salsa
This is a great dish in the summer months. The tropical salsa cools you down and keeps the heat out of the kitchen.
Ingredients
Roasted cumin-rubbed snapper
- 1 tablespoon toasted whole cumin seed, ground or smashed with a mortar and pestle (can substitute pre-ground cumin)
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- Dash ground or smashed coriander
- Dash salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ¼ lb fresh snapper
Pineapple and cilantro salsa
- 1 ½ cups pineapple (can sub one mango or mix the two)
- 1 fresh pepper such as jalapeño or serrano, minced* (remove the seeds to cut back on the heat)
- 1 small shallot, minced
- ½ cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ tablespoon toasted ground cumin (or pre-ground cumin)
- ½ avocado, cut into small cubes
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch salt

Be careful when mincing a hot pepper. The spicy juices absorb easily into your skin and can sting. Rub a bit of olive oil on your hands before handling to create a barrier.
