Mandarin Orange and Avocado Salsa

Did you know that the canned Mandarin oranges we often use in salads and Asian stir-frys are most likely Satsuma Mandarins? They’re very easy to peel, virtually seedless and sweet and juicy to boot.

This salsa is perfect for any fish – grilled, broiled, pan-seared or fried. If you like your fish on the spicy side, this salsa will help balance the fire.

For a twist on this recipe, mix in 1 cup of cooked bay shrimp.
