Marinated Pork Chops with Pineapple Salsa

I needed a good recipe to use after the strong urge to fire up the grill for the first time this year and boy, did I pick an exceptionally amazing recipe. The pineapple salsa is OUT OF THIS WORLD! I've never had a better salsa! Nick, who is not a big fan of pork chops, devoured this one and said he wanted to have it again soon.
