cilantro & honey-lime salmon w/ strawberry-jalapeno salsa


yesterday in the midst of a huge thunderstorm i sent my favourite {albeit only} husband out to bbq salmon for sunday super.  no amount of rain, lightening or hail was going to stop him, or dinner from being served.  after all it is still my birthday week/month.


dinner consisted of fresh salmon marinated in a cilantro & honey-lime bath of deliciousness.  topped with a strawberry-jalapeño salsa.  
all the pretty colors and all the great flavours for the sunday win.
