Grilled King Salmon with Tomato-Peach Salsa

Photo: John Autry; Food Styling: Charlotte Autry; Prop Styling: Leigh Ann Ross

Use a peach that's just ripe so it's juicy but still holds its shape. King (also called chinook) salmon is the best quality and works well in this dish, though sockeye works.

I LOVED this recipe, especially the salsa. It was a perfect compliment to the salmon. I used Roma tomatoes instead of cherry. I didn't add the jalapeno pepper. My husband liked it as well. My finicky 11 year old daughter did not. She did like the salmon, though. I served it with Parmesan Couscous and grilled veggie mix (asparagus, red pepper and yellow squash). Very filling and yummy.

The salsa was okay, but overpowered the salmon. Won't bother to make this again.

My husband made this for me one night, it was amazing. Perfect amount of spice, we like spicy food so if you don't i would use less jalapeno. Will definitely make this again.

Excellent, tasty light, the combination of mint and basil is perfect. I have made this about 5 times now, and have used mangoes when peaches were not ripe or in season. Always a hit with everyone. Had leftover salsa and just added it to salad greens the next night

This was great and easy. I didn't use the jalapenos and used a whole tomato instead of the cherries. My young son ate a ton of the salsa and then asked to drink the leftover juice. This is "do-over".
