• jerk seasoning – Lively spice blend.I prefer to do it myself jerk seasoning – which include onion powder, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, paprika, black pepper, thyme, parsley, red pepper flakes, cumin, nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon – but you can use store bought as well as. This seasoning works great on chicken too!
• lime juice – Adds a tart, refreshing element, balances sweet and spicy, and helps to tenderize fish in marinades.
• olive oil – Locks in moisture and helps seasonings stick. Avocado oil works too.
• Pineapple Salsa – I use my own Homemade Pineapple Salad, made with pineapple, tomato, avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, salt and pepper.you can use mango sauce even classic Fresh Tomato Salad Instead, if you like.

• Potato – make baked beans or Roasted Sweet Potatoes (and sprinkle with Indian seasoning for more spice! ), or choose a less starchy swap such as fried radishcreamy Mashed Caulifloweror crispy Roasted Kohlrabi.
