Reviews
“I loved the taste combination of the tomato and orange, very unusual.I eliminated the green onion.This was a great compliment to the fish.I have used this salsa with different kinds of fish and also ate the leftover salsa with grilled chicken.”
“The salsa makes the fish! The sweet-pepperines taste of the salsa is a maybe unusual, but oh so good combination with fish. The cumin mixture sets the counterpoint to the salsa and flavours the fish. I have used a whole sea bass and it works great. Cooking time for the whole fish was the same as given here. I would serve it with a green salad and some white bread. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.”
“This wasn’t bad.I’m not a fan of non-traditional salsas.I’ve tried them before and didn’t care for them, this one wasn’t bad though.My DH liked it.I have to say that I thought that the tomato and oranges would clash but they kind of evened each other out.I just may make again but will probably just make enough salsa for my DH. Thanks for sharing”
