Salmon with Strawberry Salsa
Healthy eating just got a whole lot more fun: Add a pop of color and sweetness to your salmon with strawberry salsa!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
salsa
- 10 strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, minced, (use seeds and veins for extra heat, remove them for less heat)
- 2 thin slices of red onion, minced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F
- Put the salmon on a baking sheet. Slice 2 limes in very thin slices and tuck under the salmon, all the way around.
- Brush the salmon generously with olive oil and season with salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact time is going to depend on how thick your fish is. I run it under the broiler for the last few minutes to get some browning, if necessary.
- While the salmon roasts you can make the salsa. Combine the ingredients in a bowl and toss. Taste to adjust any of the ingredients. Note: don't make the salsa too far in advance or the berries will start to degrade.
- Top the salmon with the salsa and serve.
