Chili Lime Salmon with Watermelon/Blueberry Salsa

I love to top a flavourful and spicy piece of grilled salmon with the perfect fruit salsa. It is a delicious and fresh contrast in flavours. Serve it on a need of your favourite basmati rice and voila, a feast for the eyes and the taste buds! Enjoy (we did last night, yum)

Chili Lime Salmon with Watermelon/Blueberry Salsa
Made it up last night, honest.

One salmon fillet per person.
Rub olive oil on each piece, all sides
Generously sprinkle with VE Chili Lime Sansel on all sides of fish pieces.

Let sit for a half hour in the fridge while you mix up the salsa.

Fire up the grill to medium/high heat.

Watermelon/Blueberry Salsa:

2 cups diced seedless watermelon
1/2 cup fresh whole blueberries
1 chopped green onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or flat leaf parsley (Italian parsley)
1 tablespoon VE Fruit Salsa Mix
Salt & Pepper to taste

Toss together in a small bowl and refrigerate to allow flavours to intermingle and have a good time :)

Reduce grill heat to medium and grill salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side. Don't over cook salmon, just cook until the inside changes colour but it still glossy.

Serve over steamed basmati rice and a generous scoop of your prepared salsa on top.

Pour yourself a lovely chilled glass of white zinfandel (its all about colour on my table) and dig in!
