When Beveylon Concha spent some time in Honolulu, she came upon this tropical treatment for tuna. Now a personal chef in Chesapeake, Virginia, she still prepares the pineapple salsa for everything from grilled fish to pork and poultry.

1/2 medium fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices

1 small onion, diced

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced

2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons lime juice

4 tuna steaks (6 ounces each)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 Grill pineapple slices, uncovered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side. Chill for 30 minutes.
