SALMON WITH MANGO-CITRUS SALSA

Salmon with Mango-Citrus Salsa image

My mother would make this for us on weeknights in summer-this was the only way we would eat fish. You can make the salsa a day ahead of time. Just keep it in the refrigerator in a covered container until ready to use. -Najmussahar Ahmed, Canton, Michigan
