Instructions

Step 1 Season and cook pollock
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska pollock under cold water; pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle jerk seasoning on both sides of each fillet. In a heavy nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add fillets to pan and cook 3-4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking. Turn fillets over and cover pan tightly. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes for frozen or 2-3 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

Step 2 Grill the pineapple
Peel and core fresh pineapple half; cut into 8 equal slices. Using a stovetop grill pan, grill pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes on each side over medium heat until browned. Remove from heat, set aside.

Step 3 Assemble tacos and serve
Layer 1/4 cup arugula (or slaw), a pineapple slice, and 1/2 of a fish fillet onto each tortilla. Squeeze lime wedge over fillet.
Cook’s Tip: Caribbean jerk seasoning can vary dramatically in heat – adjust amount to taste.
