The flavors of this topping are nice with the salmon. It's light and fresh tasting. I've paired it with Recipe #63446 for an out of the ordinary dinner. Thanks ellie!

My BF wanted to give 4 stars because he found this a bit sweet but I loved it so it's 5 stars :) I liked the little heat of the red pepper flakes. The taste of lime zest and juice in it makes this dish wonderful. Thanks Ellie :) Made for Newest Zaar tag.

This recipe makes for very good tasting salmon! The combo of pineapple, lime & red pepper was a new twist for me, & it was great! We eat salmon 6-7 times a month, & this makes for a nice variation! Thanks for the posting! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe Cooking Game]
