This recipe for Grilled Salmon with Nectarine Salsa features simply grilled salmon fillets topped with a delicious, fresh nectarine-onion salsa.

When making salmon, I almost always turn to my favorite salmon recipe (barbecued salmon) because it’s just a go-to, fabulous recipe that everyone loves. But in the summer months when nectarines are ripe and juicy and wonderful, I like to make this grilled salmon with nectarine salsa. Fruit salsa served on top of salmon turns out to be a delicious idea. This is a great recipe!

Ingredients needed:

• nectarines
• red bell pepper
• red onion
• fresh basil
• white wine vinegar
• grated orange zest
• freshly squeezed orange juice
• jalapeño pepper
• lime juice
• white sugar
• garlic
• salt and pepper
• salmon fillets

How to make Grilled Salmon with Nectarine Salsa:

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

The first step is making the nectarine salsa, and it couldn’t be any easier! Stir together all of the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Then put it in the fridge for a couple of hours to give the flavors a chance to meld.

Recipe Notes:

• Instead of buying individual salmon fillets (expensive), look for a large piece of salmon and cut it into your own fillets. You’ll save money! I like to buy the large pieces of salmon at Costco.
• Change things up in this recipe by creating a peach salsa instead. Just replace the nectarines with peaches (but peels them first).
