Salmon with Vegetable Salsa Recipe

Salmon with Vegetable Salsa RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Salmon with Vegetable Salsa Recipe Rating 5

This salsa recipe is great not only with salmon, but also grilled chicken breasts and barbecued shrimp kabobs. The only fresh ingredient not available in my son's garden was the avocado! Make a double batch of the salsa to serve with crisp tortilla chips. —Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

I put this with a ribeye steak. I did not add jalapeños, upped the cilantro and lemon juice and added strawberries. Very good. I can eat the salsa alone!! Super yummy! Ty for the recipe.

Delicious. I made the salsa exactly as the recipe states. I added a pinch more cayenne pepper to the salmon because we like spicier food. A define addition to our regular dishes.

One of the best recipes ever. The whole family loved it. Left out the jalapeno and used more cilantro.

This salad is so good I would definitely make it again. I served it with regular breaded tilapia fish.

FANTASTIC RECIPE! My husband wants this recipe to go at the top of his "favorite dinners" list. The only change that I made was that I left out the cayenne pepper. We thought that the jalapeno gave it just the right amount of heat. I will be bringing the recipe to work to share and will be making this again soon!!

I made this lastnight GREAT recipe. I did make a few slight changes I added a hand full of cilantro (love cilantro) instead of the 2 T. it called for, added all of the lime juice, added 2 jalapeno peppers and let marinade for for about 6 hours, I also broiled the salmon and left out the butter. I made only 2 fillets and made a dinner salad and added the remaing salsa over the top of the salad. Great over salad!! Enjoyed this dish so much can't wait to make it again, Thanks for a great recipe.
