I got a few too many strawberries and I needed to use them. I was thinking that a white fish with a strawberry salsa would be nice. At first I was going to go with a more standard salsa with jalapeno, cumin and cilantro but then I thought that balsamic vinegar goes well with strawberries. I ended up with a strawberry and balsamic vinegar salsa to go with the fish which turned out to be cod. There is still a lot of fresh local asparagus so I finished the meal off with some of that. Nothing says Spring like asparagus and strawberries! It turned out to be a really nice light and fresh lunch.

Fish with strawberries is a good combination. We had grilled halibut with strawberry jelly glaze once and people loved it.
The strawberry salsa is a great idea!
kevin,
your salsa looks great! i love, love, love strawberries and balsamic…i will have to try this one for sure.
I’m glad that you decided against using a “standard salsa,” since that strawberry one sounds absolutely scrumptious!! Yum!!
I had never thought to pair strawberries and fish, excellent idea!
Wonderful colours Kevin and the combination of cod with strawberries and balsamic sounds thrilling.
This dish looks and sounds delicious.
Lokks good! Strawberries are everywhere! I made a strawberry mesclun salad.

You sure have been taking advantage of all the beautiful fresh strawberries! Another creative and delicious looking dish! Great job!
That’s a great idea… The salsa sounds way too good…I could eat it alone!!!
I love how you have been showing the versatility of the strawberry.
Too many strawberries – what a lovely problem! Creative solution, too, sounds interesting 🙂
What a great and inventive idea! I would never have thought of this combination. It looks wonderful.
You’re right, strawberries and good balsamic vinegar are so delicious together!
I must admit, I’ve never tried strawberries with fish! It looks pretty nice – at first glance I thought the strawberries were tomatoes!
That strawberry sauce sounds delicious, especially since there is balsamic vinegar in it.
This sounds cool – very fresh and delicious. Looks gorgeous too, all that red!
Looks delicious Kevin. You continue to amaze me with how often you make such delicious looking and sounding food! I’m envious!

Genius! Very unique!
Oh Kevin love soooo strawberries!!! xxGloria
Fish with strawberries and strawberry salsa sounds weird to say the least 🙂
Balsamic strawberries are one of the better things in life though, especially with some black pepper added, so I can believe this was good.
You have a lot of unorthodox food here which of course is great since it gives for some new ideas.
I’ve never tried fish with strawberries before but this looks really interesting. I do love cod, strawberries and balsamic syrup so I’m going to have to try this one.
your cracking me up with the strawberries!! But everything you make with them is just breathtaking!!
That looks really cool Kevin, a great combo I think.
You certainly do dare to go…
I would never have though of cod with strawberries but I’ll be it’s pretty interesting
Not a classic combo, but a delicious one indeed!

Kevin is there anything you can’t do with strawberries?!
This is so interesting! I would have never thought to combine fish and strawberries, but it’s gorgeous!
All your fruity recipes rocks and they add such a refreshing taste/twist to the dish!
Interesting use of strawberries. I’ve had strawberry chicken before…was kind of like sweet and sour. This fish looks yummy.
A strawberry salsa? What a great idea!
Hi Kevin
Wow – I would never have thought of a strawberry salsa with white fish and I’m intrigued by this. And of course, I love the colour 🙂 I might try this idea with tuna steaks or something similar – thanks for the inspiration, and thanks very much for taking part in WTSIM this month!
Aww, looks so fresh and great idea 🙂
Well, blueberries cooked with a tiny bit of sugar, good balsamic and a healthy shot of ground black pepper and served over grilled salmon is heaven on a plate. This strawberry/cod dish is positively gorgeous!! Who sez strawberries have to be sweet???
Just tried this tonight. It was very good! Thank you for this awesome recipe.
