    6. For the pineapple salsa:

  6. Brush each side of the pineapple slices with oil.

  7. Grill or sauté until dark grill marks appear or pineapple becomes glazed and dark brown, 3-5 minutes per side.

  8. Chop the pineapple and add it to a bowl with cilantro, ginger, lime juice, jalapeño and onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
