Ingredients

1 1/2 cups diced peeled pineapple
1 cup diced peeled jicama
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 to 2 serrano chiles, seeded, chopped

2 teaspoons chili powder
3 small zucchini, each cut lengthwise into 5 slices (about 10 ounces)
1 pound halibut or orange roughy fillets

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Mix first 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Season salsa with salt and pepper.
