A delicious recipe that blends jerk salmon with South African peach and toasted coconut salsa. This hidden fruit salmon tacos recipe will be enjoyed by everyone in your house.
Created by actress and cookbook author, Nicola Millbank, also known as Milly’s Cookbook, these salmon tacos are a unique blend of ingredients that allow you to sneak some fruit into the day for your picky eaters.
South African fruit is available during the off-season in Europe which means you can take advantage of these salmon tacos with the hidden South African peach during the time when you can’t get fruit in the European area.
Varieties of South African fruit are available in stores from November until April. After over 100 years of growing exceptional fruit using their Mediterranean climate and steep hillsides, South African fruit packs a flavorful, juicy fruit you’d except with fresh produce.
Milly’s Real Food by Nicola “Milly” Millbank is available nationwide, HQ/HarperCollins £20.
