I loved the ease and the purity of this recipe. The fact that the salmon had no other seasoning, other than salt and pepper, actually lended itself better to tasting the other elements of the dish with the fish - the salsa and the salad. Each ingredient complemented the other beautifully and made for a lovely dinner that left you feeling satisfied. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
