Serving Suggestions:
- You can use this salsa to spoon over grilled or fried fish of any kind. It is especially delicious with Cedar Plank Salmon.
- Make soft fish tacos by using whole wheat flour tortillas, crumbling up your favorite charcoal-grilled fish and top with the salsa and a little thinly sliced cabbage. Top with a little Mexican Cotija cheese – wow!
- Try making a lettuce wrap with chicken or fish and add the salsa and a little extra fresh cilantro.
- It is also good as a side relish with pork or chicken, but is at its very best with grilled fish!
Enjoy!!
