# How To Make It:

01 - Wash all produce. Dice peaches and tomato into uniform 1/2-inch pieces. Finely chop jalapeño after removing seeds for reduced heat and finely dice the red onion. Chop the cilantro.
02 - Place peaches, tomato, jalapeño, red onion and cilantro in a medium mixing bowl.
03 - Add lime juice, sea salt, black pepper and honey or agave if using. Stir gently to combine without crushing the fruit.

05 - Spoon the salsa over hot grilled fish fillets or serve on the side as a bright accompaniment.
06 - For a cooler, more refreshing presentation, chill the salsa for 30 minutes before serving.
