Serve this summery dish over salad greens for an easy weeknight supper. The fresh mango-peach salsa pairs beautifully with rich and flavorful grilled salmon. But, it would also be equally delicious with a mild-tasting fish like halibut or grouper or other lean protein options like chicken, pork, or even flank steak. Since the fruit salsa will hold-up well in the refrigerator for about 3 days, plan to make extra to partner with baked tortilla chips to enjoy as a snack later in the week. You can use a different stone fruit like a nectarine or plum in the place the peach if you’d like.
