QUICK LIME & CORIANDER (CILANTRO) SALSA
This is what I throw together if we're having fish and I want a quick salsa/sauce to go with it. It's quick, easy, healthy and you can change the ratios to suit your tastes or that of the fish! Please note that amounts are somewhat estimated as I do change this depending on what fish we're having. This is what I'd make for salmon, but it's just my preference. I would probably actually use 1 tbsp of lime juice but I like quite a strong lime flavour and I don't think most people would fancy it so much my way!
