# Recipe: Grilled Salmon with Strawberry Ginger Salsa

**By Paula Gallagher** · 2011-05-19

This recipe is extremely easy and so delicious - it is full of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, as well as anti-inflammatory properties. You can tone down the heat by adding a little less ginger, especially if you have kids. And since strawberries are coming into season, this is a perfect way to use them. According to the Environmental Working Group's 2010 report "[Shopper's Guide to Pesticides](http://static.foodnews.org/pdf/EWG-shoppers-guide.pdf)," though, strawberries are among the 12 foods where pesticide residues have most frequently been found. Additional research in 2011 has also shown non-organically grown strawberries to contain residues from up to 14 different pesticides. Therefore, I would definitely recommend choosing organically grown strawberries.
