Outstanding

This entire dish is prepared on the grill, infusing both the relish and salmon with a bit of smokiness.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 3/4 cup relish)

Ingredients

  • 4  Anaheim chiles
  • Cooking spray
  • 2  shucked ears corn
  • 1  cup  diced tomato
  • 1/4  cup  chopped fresh cilantro
  • 6  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 1  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 1/2  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1  teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 4  (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets

Preparation

Prepare grill.

Place chiles on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until blackened. Place chiles in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 5 minutes. Peel chiles; cut in half lengthwise. Discard seeds and membranes. Cut chiles into 1/4-inch strips.

Place corn on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 10 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally. Cool slightly. Cut kernels from cobs.

Combine chiles, corn, tomato, cilantro, and juice; toss gently. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cumin, stirring well. Rub spice mixture evenly over both sides of salmon. Place salmon on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with relish.

Both my husband and I loved this recipe. The relish was delicious! We made two versions, the same except for the peppers. His contained some nice hot peppers from our garden (manchego, I think...) and mine contained a sweet yellow pepper (I am a spice wimp). We grilled both kinds of pepper. Also used the 4 tbsp of lime juice as previous reviewers had mentioned. My husband cooked the salmon 8 minutes skin down, then inserted his spatula between the skin and fish and flipped it over (off of the skin) for a final 45 seconds to 1 minute of cooking (no skin on the plate that way, which I liked). We served it with a brown rice pilaf, and the relish tasted great with the rice, too.09/27/09

We used 6 small poblanos, 3 ears of corn and 2 cups of tomatoes. For the fish, we added chili powder to the rub, which was a great complement to the corn relish. Awesome dish!08/23/09
