The start of the weekly fish dish project: Muir Glen Fiery Fruit Salsa

You give a man a fishing pole – and a ticket to La Paz, Mexico – and he and three friends bring back over 200 pounds of tuna, wahoo and mahi mahi. Thanks to my husband’s recent fishing expedition, I’ll be cooking up a fish dish every week and featuring the recipes here at This Mama Cooks! It's a bit daunting, but I think I'm up to the challenge.

Luckily for us, wild caught fish is low in fat and calories and full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Also, the American Heart Association recommends eating fish two times per week.

However, my children are not the most enthusiastic fish eaters. The trick will be to disguise the fish enough to get them to eat it. One way will be to use fruit salsas on top of grilled fish. Here’s a recipe from Muir Glen Organic that should do the trick.
