Dublin resident Becky Webb Rogers is a busy woman. Besides serving as treasurer of Bob Webb Group, she and husband Neil Rogers also have 3-year-old daughter Ava to parent. Balancing running the home building business – which her father Bob started – with the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood leaves Becky little time in the day for preparing elaborate dinners. However, Becky has devised her own fast and tasty solutions for home-cooked meals on the fly.

“Time is at a premium,” Becky says. “I really appreciate a recipe that is easy, fun and delicious.”

Becky loves fresh salmon this time of year, and she uses a quick, easy and economical recipe to transform the ordinary fish into something special. She makes a perfect-for-summer mango salsa to jazz up the salmon, which can be grilled, baked, broiled or even poached. According to Becky, the recipe came from a friend, “who is an awesome cook,” five years ago.

Becky says the mango salsa has become a hit with friends, family and neighbors, who consider it cool and refreshing – perfect for a hot summer evening. She also serves the recipe at holidays, cookouts and get-togethers year-round. It can be made with or without diced jalapeño and with or without garlic, depending on your palate’s preference. It is also colorful and contrasts nicely with pink salmon in a public presentation (it can also be served with pork tenderloin, pork tenderloin or pork chops). Finally, it is a cost-effective recipe: chances you are you already have half of the ingredients in your refrigerator or pantry.
