Grilled Salmon with Strawberry Salsa

Submitted by Dee514

"Its Strawberry season!!! My friend served this last weekend and everyone raved about it, said the flavors were wonderful. My hubby decided we should make this for company this weekend, and I thought I'd share my neighbor's recipe with my friends at Zaar. (I have not personally prepared this dish yet). Prep time does not include 1 hour chilling time. Cook time does not include the time to prepare the charcoal grill."

Great recipe - I didn't have rice wine vinegar so I used a mix of some red and white wine vinegars, and I added lime juice to the salsa. Overall dish was great flavor combinations and very fresh and light with the salsa. Will make this again for sure.

Really great! The salsa looked so good on top of my salmon, I felt like we were at a fancy restaurant! The only change I made was to add 1 Tbsp balsamic to the salsa (along with the rice vinegar), it was the zip I was looking for! Company was impressed, thanks for a great dish!

I served this salsa with blackened salmon. Cucumber doesn't like me so I subbed a small amount of raw zucchini for it. There were no leftovers.
