Ingredients

• 2 ripe peaches, diced
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• ¼ small red onion, finely diced
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
• Grilled fish fillets (4 portions, any firm white fish, optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare all fruits and vegetables

Dice the peaches and tomato, finely chop the jalapeño (removing seeds for less heat), and finely dice the red onion.

2. Combine ingredients

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peaches, tomato, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro.

3. Season salsa

Add the lime juice, salt, black pepper, and, if desired, honey or agave syrup.

4. Mix gently

Gently toss all ingredients until evenly mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Rest the salsa

Let the salsa sit for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

6. Serve

Spoon the salsa generously over freshly grilled fish fillets or serve on the side.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Ensure the peaches are perfectly ripe for maximum sweetness and juiciness. Removing the jalapeño seeds reduces heat, but leave them in if you prefer more spice. Letting the salsa rest allows the bold flavors to fully meld together, enhancing taste.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For extra zest and complexity, add a few tablespoons of diced red bell pepper or mango. Optionally, adjust sweetness by adding or omitting honey or agave syrup to suit your palate.

Serviervorschläge

This peach jalapeño salsa is delightful spooned over grilled fish, but also pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, tacos, or as a bright, fresh topping for salads. Chill the salsa for 30 minutes before serving for a cooler, more refreshing experience.
