Salmon has a naturally strong flavor which holds up nicely against this savory marinade. Allowing the fish to marinate long enough helps to meld the flavors together for a cohesive dish. The addition of a crunchy vegetable base adds interesting texture and lots of flavor.

Hi Kathleen,
Yes! Tuna would be great with these flavors, too. Hope you enjoy it!
