Salmon with aromatic pineapple-cucumber salsa is an exquisite dish where the freshness of fruits and vegetables harmoniously combines with the delicate taste of fish. Pineapple adds a light sweetness, while lime and jalapeño contribute a tangy zest and spiciness. Cucumbers provide coolness and crunch to the dish, while fresh basil adds a spicy note. The grilled salmon develops an appetizing crust while remaining juicy inside. This dish is perfect for summer evenings, light dinners, or festive gatherings. Inspired by Italian cuisine, it successfully combines simplicity in preparation with a richness of flavor nuances. It can be served with a glass of white wine or fresh crispy bread for complete enjoyment.
