I used to not like Salmon. I used to not like a lot of foods but I always say college broadened my desired taste buds. So there's a running joke in our family that we like salmon aaannnnd "It's so good for you!"
Not too expensive, I got two fresh pieces at Publix, so I could have left overs. It's just me eating so I usually cook for at least two or more because I haven't figured out the whole no left overs thing yet. Anyway, bought a lot of new seasonings (couldn't find or figure out white pepper but oh well) and set to work!
I liked how well coated the salmon was but I didn't realize I was supposed to coat it in olive oil before putting on the rub. Still worked out ok but ended up more blackened (but not bad tasting) then the picture online. I wasn't entirely sure how long to cook it so it was probably over done. They say you can eat salmon raw so I should probably err on the side of under cooking next time.
Loved the fruit salsa and already even made it for Mr. MC's mom and step dad. I don't care for avocado and since other fruit salsas used strawberries with mango, I did too! I love cilantro and the smell of it too!
Overall this meal was great and could be quick! I did have a whole left over meal the next day. Put it over rice the first time as I had that left over from a meatloaf meal. I see a theme of left overs going on here! The salmon and salsa did have a bit of a kick to it! I think I would use the already seasoned Publix fresh salmon next time and then it probably wouldn't be as spicy! I bet if you took out the red onion that would take the kick out of the salsa too.
