Cantaloupe in salsa never occurred to me. Then again if even half of these recipes “occurred” to me, I wouldn’t be domestically challenged and would be a happy, famous, chubby chef off living the dream somewhere… haha. Anyways, this was a crazy flavor combination between the jerk seasoning on the fish, to the salty, sweet, sour flavors of that delicious salsa! I’ve been really good lately at following directions (at least in cooking, lol) because I think the key to the salsa is the proportions of each ingredient. So yea, follow the directions. lol. Also I snagged that photo from epicurious. Totally forgot to take a picture of mine last night. But I promise it looked the same! 😀
