Directions
Carefully remove any tiny bones from flounder with a tweezer.
Set fish on a broiler tray lined with aluminum foil.
Preheat broiler.
Combine diced pineapple, cucumber, tomatoes, onions and pineapple juice in a heavy saucepan.
Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat, add garlic and ginger, season with salt and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Remove ¼ cup of liquid from saucepan and mix it with cornstarch until smooth.
Stir back into saucepan and cook, stirring, 2 minutes more to thicken fruit sauce slightly.
Remove from heat; set aside.
Brush fish fillets with olive oil and drizzle with lime juice.
Sprinkle with salt.
Place fish 4 inches from heat source and broil 4 to 5 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Remove, cut in half crosswise and place one piece of fish in each of 8 shallow bowls.
Heat fruit sauce for 1 minute over medium heat, stir in cilantro and ladle evenly over fish.
Serve immediately.
