I mostly wing it.

But.

Marinade for a few hours, Teriyaki sauce, garlic, ginger. These sat for about 3 hours.

A little bit of olive oil in a skillet on medium high/ high heat. Sear skin side down for about 2 to 3 minutes and cover (these were skinless though). Flip for like 30 seconds to a minute or so and bring it off the heat. The pieces weren't too thick so they cooked pretty fast.

The salsa was just diced mango, bell peppers, cherry tomato, avocado and parsley, I added lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.

And that's about it.

In retrospect I think the salsa needed a little more acidity, heat, to counteract the sweetness, I might add something like habanero hot sauce next time.

can I substitute cilantro for the parsley? parsley has no taste IMO and is only added to food as a garnish to give it some green color.

Sure, it's just what I had at the time. But I imagine cilantro works better because of its citrus like flavour profile.

Tomorrow came and went babygirl:russ:.

How it taste?

Im invested after the marination and being a hot sauce lover.
Its really good, I put a few sweet fruits into it to manage the spiciness, cherries, peaches and red bell peppers. Its a spicy punch when you first taste it but disappears quite quickly without making your mouth numb. I finished nearly half a Frank's sauce bottle size in two days. So quite moorish.


Its also not too tangy, as I didnt let it ferment too long. To me tabasco sauce is too tangy and I didnt want my sauce to be too sour. If I had fermented it for another two weeks it would have been more sour.
