>Salmon with Tomato-Peach Salsa

>Making fish at home is sometimes scary.  For me anyway.  I like fish, but I don’t love fish.  Do ya feel me?  I know it’s good for me, so I make a good attempt to include it in my diet in regular intervals.  However…if I have some “bad” fish (hello Sublime fans) then I don’t want fish for a while.  Hence why I am scared to make fish at home!


How to prevent bad fish?  Buy quality fish.  Have a Grill King cook it to perfection.  And if all else fails – top it with a lot of stuff!

This recipe came from the cover of Cooking Light Magazine.  I am a subscriber.  Holla.  It was very easy to make and the ingredients were not too expensive.  When I make it again I plan to cut my ingredients smaller and add more herbs!!!
