Cilantro Salmon
"This is a concoction for salmon that I came up with when I wanted salmon, but something different. The outcome turned out great, even a friend that hates salmon described it as "the bomb". . . he's such a dork. Anyway, the combination of flavors is fresh and bright, delicious served with rice and steamed veggies."

Excellent dish! Light and flavorful, a great change from boring old salmon. Kids even liked it! -
I had a bunch of fresh cilantro that I wanted to use and saw this recipe. I used frozen salmon fillets and jarred salsa and it was delicious! What a great idea. Salmon is sturdy and stands up well to this combo of flavors. Keep 'em coming, Sabrina. :-)
