Hello My Friends,
I’ve got several ways that I like to cook salmon, but this is one of my favorites. I like to season my salmon by brushing on a little agave nectar and then sprinkling on salt and pepper. Then, it’s ready to be cooked however I want. Quite often, we'll grill it, because who doesn’t love to have grilled salmon? The mango salsa is really delicious. The jalapeno is just enough to add a little spice to the salsa without being overpowering, and the lime juice keeps all the fruit looking beautiful. This salsa is better the second day, since the flavors have time to meld. So, if you’ve got the time, make it a day ahead of time. Or, if you’re like me, just make it while the salmon is cooking – it’s still delicious and beautiful.
