"Salmon are like men: too soft a life is not good for them." -James de Coquet, French writer and gourmand

The refrigerator light goes on...

When I served this to my wife she said, "This is so Mediterranean - but it also has great features of Southwest and Native American flavors." It is a great testimony to how you can translate the Mediterranean diet principles for your American kitchen.

There are so many points to improve your Med Diet Score – whole grain (corn), quality fat (olive oil), plenty of veggies and delicious seafood. Pair this with a glass of crisp white wine and you have 5 points!

This is also a great dish for your next dinner party. The relish and sauce can be made in advance. Reheat the relish gently while the salmon is roasting (you can also do the fish outside on the grill). The recipe is great served chilled for a hot summer picnic!

This recipe can easily be multiplied and leftovers are great. I like to make sandwiches from the salmon and relish, but both go well chilled on top of salads.

  • 2 cups (~ 2 ears) corn kernels

Add the corn and sauté gently until the corn begins to brown.

Add the white part of the green onions, the shallot and the garlic and cook for one minute.

Add the thyme and white wine. Cook over low heat until the wine evaporates.

Stir in bell peppers, lime zest, juice of one lime, 2 teaspoons honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the green tops of the green onions and cilantro.

Remove from heat. (The relish can be made up to 24 hours in advance and reheated gently while the salmon is roasting.)

Stir together the 1 teaspoon olive oil, lime juice, honey, paprika and salt. (The sauce can be made up to 24 hours in advance.)

When ready to serve preheat oven to 400°F.
