Grilled Salmon With a Pineapple, Mango and Strawberry Salsa

Submitted by Gone Fishin

"Fresh Salmon is just the best. I go fishing in Alaska once a year and bring home a fair amount. Testing different peoples recipes is great. This one is from EMERIL. I keep some of his Essence on hand at all times. The fruit salsa is so refreshing and a great summer time addition to the fish. I have not tried it on other fish but I am sure it would be great."

2. Brush both sides of the salmon with the olive oil. Season the salmon on both sides with the Essence(2 teaspoons), salt and pepper. Place the fish on the grill, skin side down and cook for about 3 minutes then turn the fish 45 degrees and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Turn the fish over and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until cooked through to the desired degree of doneness.
3. Remove the fish from the grill and serve with the fruit salsa spooned over the fish. Serve immediately.

4. For the Salsa:

5. In a medium non-reactive bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir to blend. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the salsa to macerate for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

This is so good I can't even tell you! My salmon hating sons love it and they don't even eat the salsa, which boggles my mind. I double the salsa every time I make this so that I can have extra to eat as a side salad. I usually tweak every recipe I make but not this one. Enjoy eating something that tastes even better than the healthy meal it is.
