Tofu is a plant-based option, while tilapia is a more affordable fish alternative.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while vegetable oil is often less expensive.

Trim the pineapple and coat it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Preheat the grill to a high temperature (104 degrees).

Mix together the blackening spices: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices to taste.

Apply the blackening spice mixture generously to the mahi mahi fillets.

Place the seasoned mahi mahi fillets on a hot flat top grill or cast iron frying pan.

Cook the fish until the spices are caramelized and the fish is cooked through, flipping it halfway.

While the fish is cooking, grill the pineapple until caramelized, making crisscross grill marks.

Prepare a mixture of honey and red pepper flakes to drizzle over the grilled pineapple for added flavor.

Once the fish is done, remove it from the grill and serve alongside the grilled pineapple.
