Welcome to the weekend!
I’m joining the party with mouth watering salmon and grilled pineapple salsa. Pass the margaritas please. Thanks to The Novice Gardener for hosting the Fiesta Friday blog party.
I love fish tacos and salmon tacos should be in the Fish Taco Hall of Fame. The salmon in these tacos is marinated in ginger, honey, soy, and garlic chili sauce. The salsa is grilled along side the salmon for a quick and delicious summer meal.
The grilled pineapple is intensely sweet with a smokey char. Blackened onion, red pepper and Serrano chili bring the traditional salsa flavors to the party. The salsa is sweet and spicy. The creamy slaw balances the sweet heat with a cool tang. It’s a flavor explosion in every bite. I served mine with a crisp white wine but a margarita would be fabulous. Savor every bite.

You are so welcome, Suchitra. At one point last summer I had 100 pounds of line caught Alaskan salmon in my freezer so I had to find new ways to eat it. Although this fish is so delicious that simple recipes have been the best. These tacos were just so fun for a party!
