Grilled Cajun Salmon With Tomato Pineapple Salsa

CountryLady's Note:

A little spice, a little salsa, a lot of flavour and its also healthy! The recipe comes courtesy of Good Times magazine. Adjust the cajun seasoning to your own taste - if you don't have any, there are a number of good ones on Zaar!

Simply wonderful. The salsa mixed very well with the salmon. I'd suggest cutting down the oil used in cooking and kicking up the cajun seasoning. I used Tony Chacheire's and it came out perfect!

This was gorgeous. I wasvery curious about the salsa but the flavours were great. I added more cajun to the salmon and still the flavour was very mild but nice. I left it to marinade over night and roasted it instead. All in all everyone loved it at my party. Thank you
