Jerk Butter Fish with Pineapple Salsa

Bring on the spicy seafood and then pair it with some pineapple (pineapple salsa to be exact) and with that you've got a perfect marriage. I'm no jerk master and I do not claim to be. I always ensure when cooking foods by different cultures that people know I used their methods for inspiration and not claim that the recipe is authentic. That being said, everyone has different cooking styles, techniques etc and I use a lovely dry rub and searing method to make this fish dish that is both really healthy and tasty. Let's get to cooking foodies! Here's my recipe and I do hope you enjoy.
