Directions

  1. In a grill pan over moderately high heat, sear and soften the pineapple, bell pepper, and jalapeño, turning occasionally with tongs.
  2. Transfer the pineapple, bell pepper, and jalapeño to a blender and add the lime juice, then purée the mixture. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper and keep at room temperature.
  3. In a large bowl toss together the cabbages, the radishes, and the cilantro.
  4. In a medium bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients and season it with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Prepare a grill for moderately high heat.
  6. While the grill is heating, cut the fish crosswise into 1-inch wide strips. In a small bowl whisk together the paprika and the cayenne and sprinkle it evenly all over the strips. Season the strips well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Divide the tortillas into 2 stacks and wrap each stack in foil. Warm the tortillas on the grill, turning once or twice, until heated through, about 3 minutes.

  11. Drizzle the dressing over the slaw and toss it well. Divide the fish among the warm tortillas and top it with the slaw.
