Make this deliciously sweet and spicy salsa to pair with salmon for a tasty weeknight meal your family will love. Both the colorful salsa and the salmon can be made a day ahead. The jalapeño pepper adds a nice little kick to this fruity salsa, but if you would like a little less heat, you can half or omit the jalapeño pepper. To chop the cilantro, place a bunch of cilantro leaves flat onto a cutting board. Then chop the leaves. When selecting cilantro in the grocery store, look for bright green evenly colored leaves. Avoid leaves that are yellow or wilting. Use the cilantro as a garnish for the fish and salsa.
