Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

To make the berry ginger salsa, combine the diced strawberries, blueberries, grated ginger, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and minced jalapeño in a mixing bowl. Gently toss to combine.

Step 6

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice or honey as needed for balance.

Step 7

Serve each salmon fillet with a generous spoonful of berry ginger salsa on top. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
