Grilled Salmon with Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa

Posted by Olivia on Fri, April 15, 2011

We are on a crash course all the way to summer, and every day we’re gobbling up seasonal fruits and veggies along the way!

Recently we received a customer suggestion on our Facebook Fan Page to try pairing strawberries with our Jalapeno Olive Oil. Jalapeno and strawberries? Oh, yah. I tell ya, our customers know more about good food than we do most of the time. A winning suggestion!

What better way to serve grilled wild salmon than with a freshly tossed fruit salsa? How about a strawberry-jalapeno salsa? Hot diggety!

Our immensely popular Jalapeno Olive Oil just won a Gold Award from the Yolo County Fair—it’s been such a hit with customers that we’ve run out of supplies in the past! Whipped up into a fruity, spicy salsa, spooned over simple grilled salmon, it’s a total taste sensation.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions!
