Notes
Ingredient Modifications and Variations
- Use mango salsa - if pineapple isn’t your thing, try swapping the pineapple salsa for mango salsa! They’re both really delicious.
- Use steelhead trout - if you can’t find salmon, steelhead trout is a GREAT option.
- Skip the spice - to keep things mild, ditch both the jalapeno in the pineapple salsa and the one used for garnish.
