FIESTA

 

Spicy salty and tart flavors brighten everything they touch. A south of the border classic blend of red & green chilies, annatto, lime & lemon zest, kosher sea salt, and cilantro.

Make fruta con chile y limon - fresh cut fruit like mango, watermelon, pineapple, and more and vegetables like cucumber, jicama, and tomato sprinkled with chili-lime for a salty tart treat and just enough kick to light up your taste buds.

Delightful on roasted squash or pumpkin seeds, even oven roasted tortilla chips and popcorn.

Blend with fresh lime or lemon juice and your favorite salad oil for coleslaw south of the border style. Perfect for topping fish tacos.

Blend with avocado or tomatoes, onions, tomatillos and chilies for quick and delicious guacamole and salsa.

Add to your favorite gazpacho recipe.

 

Fiesta Salmon
~Serves 3-4, generously~


1 to 1 1/2 lb salmon filet, cut into serving pieces

1 medium onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 lemon or lime, sliced
Opt: avocado, tomato, cilantro

1. Preheat oven to broil. Place salmon filets on an oiled baking sheet skin side down.
2. Whisk together oil, lime juice, FIESTA® and honey. Brush evenly over salmon filets, reserving some to toss with onions, peppers, and zucchini.
3. Arrange peppers and lemon slices around salmon.
