Wild Salmon with Fresh Corn Salsa


Salmon, although delicious, is not my favorite to cook at home. It's probably my technique, but it usually starts to feel very one-note after a few bites. Wild Alaskan salmon is in season though, and it looked too gorgeous to pass up. I thought I'd try something different and serve it with a fresh salsa as a garnish/side dish. The combination ended up being perfect. The salsa was refreshing and sweet, a great balance to the fatty fish.


HOW TO:

Broil corn until tender. When cool, cut the kernels off the cob. Dice equal parts red onion and tomato. Finely chop garlic, cilantro, and jalapeƱo. Toss together with lime juice, salt, and pepper. For the fish, rinse and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Add oil to a very hot pan. Sear, about 3 to 4 minutes a side, until just under cooked.
