Cajun Blackened Fish with Pineapple Salsa Recipe

This grilled fish recipe made for a prefect lunch with the Mrs. recently with a combination of hot Cajun spices blended with the flaky tenderness of Cod fish and cool smoothness of Greek Yogurt, sweetened perfectly with a pineapple salsa. I missed a bit on the blackening but nailed it on the flavor!

Ours was grilled on the Island Grillstone.
