    I think it’s actually harder to type ten times than say.  

    strawberrysalmonI’m loving the freshness of this dish.  Bright bold colors make for bright bold flavors.  

    Strawberries and salmon?  Who knew?!

    Now you know. 

    strawberrysalmonpicTechnically I could eat this strawberry salsa with a spoon and be perfectly happy.  Or with a bag of chips.  It’s perfect for summer and so easy to make.  

    But topping off this seared salmon with it, makes the perfect light summery meal.  

    I promise you can do it.
