This is a great dish in the summer months. The tropical salsa cools you down and keeps the heat out of the kitchen.

1 tablespoon toasted whole cumin seed, ground or smashed with a mortar and pestle (can substitute pre-ground cumin)
½ tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Dash ground or smashed coriander
Dash salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 ¼ lb fresh snapper

pineapple and cilantro salsa

1 ½ cups pineapple (can sub one mango or mix the two)
1 fresh pepper such as jalapeño or serrano, minced* (remove the seeds to cut back on the heat)

½ cup cilantro, roughly chopped
1 lime, juiced
½ tablespoon toasted ground cumin (or pre-ground cumin)
½ avocado, cut into small cubes
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil
Pinch salt

Be careful when mincing a hot pepper. The spicy juices absorb easily into your skin and can sting. Rub a bit of olive oil on your hands before handling to create a barrier.
