Balsamic Glazed Salmon & Strawberry Salsa

Using strawberries for savoury dishes might sound weird but they actually pair beautifully with salmon and balsamic. Don’t believe us? Give it a try and see for yourself. Balsamic and strawberries is a match made in heaven and many chefs will swear by it, introducing salmon between the pair is our 2017 food breakthrough. The rich texture pairs well with the sweetness from strawberries and tartness from balsamic, hence making this #DSSCVerified.
