I just made this with copper river salmon from Costco for my husband for Father's Day and it was outstanding......HE LOVED IT so much that we have invited guests to enjoy it with us tomorrow night. Off to the store to buy more salmon! Can't wait to try it with tuna and halibut... Served rice pilaf, salad and bread with it.

Old Favorite from Cooking Light many years ago. Haven't made it for a while...but ran across it and decided I had to make it again. Just as good as I remember. The combination of cilantro and mint works well with the salmon and the serrano chile with the mint in the salsa creates that hot/cool sensation that just kind of sneaks up on you.
