Cod with Strawberry Salsa

[heart_this] · Jul 5, 2008 · 41 Comments

Cod with Strawberry Salsa

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!

    I’m glad that you decided against using a “standard salsa,” since that strawberry one sounds absolutely scrumptious!! Yum!!

    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.

    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!

    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???
