Preheat barbecue to medium-high.
Stir honey with paprika and salt in a small bowl until it forms a paste. Pat fish dry. Rub paste all over flesh of fish.
Oil frill. Barbecue fish skin-side down, with lid open, until a knife tip inserted into the thickest part of fish and held for 10 sec feels warm, 15 to 17 min for every in. of thickness.
Barbecue mini tortillas until grill marks appear, about 10 sec per side.
Slide a thin metal spatula between fish skin and flesh, then lift fillet off skin and onto a cutting board.
Cut fish into bite-sized pieces. Serve on grilled tortillas, topped with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, pineapple and cilantro.
