We have enjoyed this recipe for years. It is fresh and tangy and delicious. I usually use the frozen salmon steaks from Costco-farmed, not wild since the wild has a stronger fishy taste (not to mention the skin! Ugh!) and I am not always comfortable with the idea that I am eating fish! Omit the sugar, serve with brown rice instead of white and you’ve got yourself a whole foods meal.

Notes
OPTIONAL: I put a bed of uncooked white rice at bottom of 9x13 pan. Then placed frozen salmon filets (Costco) on rice. I coated rice and salmon with broth and a little extra water then covered all with salsa. I baked covered for over an hour until fish is done and rice tender. The rice took a long time to cook so I think maybe next time I will halfway cook the rice before combining all the ingredients then cook it all together.
