Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 skinless salmon fillets, (6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 pound medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into 3-inch spears (about 1/2 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Broil until fish is opaque throughout and zucchini is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add corn and garlic; cook, tossing, until corn is tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in scallions and salsa; season generously with salt and pepper. To serve, place fillets on plates, and serve with zucchini and half the corn. Reserve other half of the corn for next day.

Tips:

To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, ensure it is of a uniform thickness before cooking.
Sear the salmon on high heat to create a crispy crust and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Use a large pan or skillet to prevent the salmon from overcrowding.
Do not flip the salmon too often, as this can break the fish apart.
Cook the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the salmon with a squeeze of lemon juice, a dollop of sour cream, or a drizzle of your favorite sauce.
