This BBQ salmon with salsa puts a tropical twist on your standard barbecue fare, and is perfect for enjoying in the summer sun. The sweet and slightly spicy salsa pairs perfectly with the oily salmon to create a filling and flavourful dish. Opting for salmon instead of your usual burgers and sausages not only makes a refreshing change but could also be better for your health, as oily fish like salmon are full of brain-boosting Omega-3 fatty acids and are a great source of vitamin D. Although we think this is the perfect combo, you can use this tasty salsa as a dip for other barbecue meat, fish or veggies. It works really well with spicy flavours like peri-peri or jerk marinaded chicken. To keep things light you can have this as a complete supper, but if you're feeling particularly hungry then feel free to bulk it up. We love a few steamed potatoes on the side, or some spicy rice to make sure we stay feeling full all evening long (which avoids the biscuit-tin-temptation). Why not try this quick and super simple alternative at your next barbecue!
