Summer Relish

Oh my goodness I couldn't wait to share this with you! I was on my way home yesterday thinking about what I wanted to eat. Consulting my taste buds, I settled on something light but still ran the items of my refrigerator through my mind. Okay, so I have a huge watermelon and cantaloupe that I haven't cut yet, a few mangoes, some random leftovers, a bushel of flat leaf parsley and cilantro and two gallons of almond milk.

What am I supposed to do with those? And then it hit me like a Mack truck. I'm going to make a fruit salsa! No, relish! Wait, oh who cares. It sounds right in my mind so I need to get it on a plate ASAP. I swung by Whole Foods, picked up a hefty piece of salmon, two tiny jalapeños and rushed home to create. Get yourself ready to have your life changed forever. Here we go:

Gather these goodies: 

1 1/2 cups diced watermelon

1 1/2 cups diced cantaloupe

1/2 cup diced cucumber  

1-2 diced jalapeños  

1 handful of cilantro, then chop

1 small lime (juice) 

Directions:

The prettier you want this to look on your plate, the more time you need to spend dicing all of your ingredients. Let's scratch "pretty" and use presentable. I've never looked at a jacked up plate of food and said "Oh this looks delicious!" I'm just saying.

Moving on.

Combine everything into a bowl. For less heat, remove all the seeds from your jalapeños before dicing them. Lastly, juice your lime over the combo and carefully mix with a spoon or spatula. You don't want to injure your gorgeous cubes of fruit. Set aside while you prepare your fish. 

I won't go into the instructions on how to sear your salmon, because I've posted about it before. However if you would like to see a new post all about salmon, just let me know! 

Serve with fish only, with brown rice or any other starch of your choosing. Your plate is your playground!

Now sit back and wait for your life to change and all your dreams to come true.
