Spicy griddled snapper on pineapple salsa

I tried this recipe a little while ago, last summer in fact. Instead of using a griddle pan I barbecues the snapper fillets and the result was marvelous. The original recipe came from Lesley Waters and was found on the BBC Food website. I served the fish with rosemarried sweet potatoes as well as the salsa I think it worked well.
