Salmon with Mango Avocado Salsa

Summer is finally here and it’s getting so hot here. It’s very hard to be in the kitchen for long time. At the same time our taste buds seek something tangy in the summer. Generally you get mango in this time of the year and local grocery stores are full of raw and ripe mangoes. So I couldn't resist myself from buying some mangoes to beat this summer heat! I already had Salmon in my refrigerator and was wondering what combination I can make today. Finally I came up with this one.

It is something easy “peasy” yet healthy and yummy recipe ! Salmon has very good name among the fish-lovers, not only because it tastes good but it is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Along with that, if we add Mangoes which are rich in vitamins A and C  and Avocados which has  a lots of  nutritional  values, it becomes a dish with amazing health benefits and awesome flavor. 

Salsa is a Spanish term for sauce, a typical hot sauce of Mexican cuisine generally used as a dip. There are many types of Salsa. Mango Avocado Salsa is sweet and sour sauce made of fresh mango, avocado, red pepper, red onion, cilantro and lime juice. It goes well with grilled fish or chicken.
