PINEAPPLE, PAPAYA & MANGO SALSA
Obviously sweet because of the fruit but a slight hint of heat because of the pepper. We love this on grilled ahi, steamed uhu or aweoweo. I worked out this recipe after several failed attempts. We are blessed to live in Hawaii where fresh-off-the-tree fruit and great pineapples are easy to find, but try it anyway. As a variation, skip the pineapple and use chopped, seeded cucumber. Enjoy!

GRILLED TUNA WITH MANGO-PAPAYA SALSA
Yummy tuna with salsa. The salsa is soooo good. Depending on the size of your mango and papaya, you should have some extra salsa left. I like to use the rest of it up as a snack with tortilla chips. Recipe by chef Keith Famie. Note: Probably any sturdy fish would be good in this recipe ie. Mahi Mahi or swordfish, etc... Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat grill (allow 10 minutes for gas grill).
- While grill is heating, prepare fish and make salsa.
- Prepare fish fillets: brush with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and seasoning mix.
- Prepare salsa: mix together all ingredients, taking care to keep everything very small. If desired, you can add diced cucumber or red onion, according to your taste preferences. Set salsa aside.
- Prepare heated grill for fish (we use a non-stick spray made for grills to prevent sticking).
- Grill fish 4-5 minutes on each side. When cooking swordfish, don't overcook or it will be dry. Don't wait until it "flakes apart" like other fish - when swordfish is perfectly cooked, there will still be some resistance when you try to cut it apart.
- Serve swordfish with salsa and a wedge of lime.

PINEAPPLE, PAPAYA, MANGO SALSA OVER JASMINE RICE
This is great served with any seafood dish and especially with my Recipe #407262. I happen to like jasmine rice, but any rice that you like will work for this. It is also excellent with Mexican or spicy dishes or even just topped on some grilled chicken. It is so versatile.

Steps:
- Rice -- There are so many different kinds of rice. So I won't tell you what kind to or not to buy. I prefer a Jasmine rice, but depending on what brand you buy, just cook according to directions. Serve 1/2 cup salsa over 1 cup per rice per person. And since I have approximately 3 cups of salsa, you will need 6 cups of rice. But feel free to make what you like best.
- Salsa -- Just mix everything all together - it is that simple. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes covered well with plastic wrap.
- Serve -- I like to serve individual servings, but you can easily just serve this family style in one large bowl. Just ENJOY! It is just really really good.

Tips:
- Choose ripe papayas. The best papayas for salsa are ripe but still firm. Avoid papayas that are too soft or have bruises.
- Use a variety of colors of peppers. This will give your salsa a more vibrant appearance and flavor.
- Add some heat. If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or habanero pepper. You can also use chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- Balance the flavors. Salsa should be a balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. If your salsa is too sweet, add some lime juice or vinegar. If it's too sour, add some sugar or honey. If it's too spicy, add some more fruit or vegetables.
- Let the flavors meld. The longer you let your salsa sit, the better the flavors will blend. Try to make your salsa at least an hour before you plan to serve it.
Conclusion:
Papaya salsa is a delicious and refreshing salsa that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new salsa to try, give papaya salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
